| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the central field, similarly arranged in horizontal registers within a square format, consistent with Marinid half-dinar typology. The Maghribi-style script is bold and closely spaced, with additional marginal text encircling the central square. The irregular flan edges reflect the hammered production technique, and the strike is slightly off-center, a common characteristic of this series. The legends likely include the ruler's name and titles, the mint name, and Quranic formulae standard to Marinid gold coinage. No ornamental devices or geometric borders are discernible beyond the textual arrangement. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Abu Sa'id Uthman III ruled the Marinid sultanate during its terminal decline, a period marked by repeated coups, Wattasid regent interference, and the effective collapse of central authority in Fez. The dynasty that had built the Bou Inania madrasa and contested Iberian politics was, by his reign, a shell sustained largely by the Wattasid governors who would eventually supplant it entirely.
Half-dinar fractions of this reign are poorly documented in major collections, and A#545A remains a sparsely referenced type — likely reflecting both low original mintage and the general economic contraction of late Marinid Morocco.
