Aversbeschreibung The denomination '1/4' is prominently displayed in the central field, flanked on both sides by a small five-pointed star. The Arabic legend 'بنك الجزائر' (Bank of Algeria) arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while the denomination '¼ دينار' (1/4 Dinar) is inscribed along the lower portion. The design is restrained and typographic in character, with the numeral rendered in bold relief against a plain field.

Reversbeschreibung A detailed front-facing portrait of a fennec fox (Vulpes zerda) occupies the central field, rendered with naturalistic attention to the animal's large ears and facial features. The date appears in both the Islamic Hijri calendar and the Gregorian calendar, positioned in the lower portion of the field. The entire central motif is framed by a stylized decorative border inspired by traditional Algerian jewellery patterns, lending the design a distinctly regional artistic character.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Algeria's quarter-dinar was issued by the Banque d'Algérie during one of the most turbulent decades in the country's post-independence history — the 1990s civil conflict between the government and Islamist insurgents killed an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 people, yet small-denomination coinage continued circulating throughout. The aluminium-magnesium alloy was a deliberate cost-reduction choice as inflation eroded the dinar's purchasing power across the same period.

By the time production ended in 2011, the coin's face value had become essentially negligible in daily transactions.
