| Beschrijving keerzijde | Irregular hammered gold flan displaying multiple horizontal lines of bold Arabic inscriptions in raised relief, arranged across the upper and central field. A decorative dotted border is partially visible along the left and right margins of the die. The legends, written in Maghribi calligraphic style, include the ruler's name and titles, reading in part the name of the Hafsid sultan Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad V. The lower field is largely blank, again reflecting the off-center nature of the hammered strike. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hafsid sultanate of Tunis maintained surprisingly durable gold coinage through the early sixteenth century despite mounting pressure from both Ottoman expansion and Spanish Habsburg aggression in the western Mediterranean. Charles V seized Tunis in 1535, installing a puppet ruler and garrisoning La Goulette — yet Hafsid gold continued to be struck, a practical concession by the occupying power to local commercial networks that depended on recognizable currency.
Muhammad V's reign ended when the Ottomans took definitive control of Tunis in 1574, but the dinars of his era circulated well beyond that date in trans-Saharan trade routes where Hafsid gold had been trusted tender for generations.
