| Obverse description | Hammered gold dinar struck in the characteristic Almohad square-within-circle format. The central field features a square cartouche containing five lines of Kufic Arabic legend arranged horizontally, comprising the shahada, the name of the Prophet, a reference to the Mahdi as imam of the umma, and the regnal name of the caliph Abu Muhammad Abd al-Wahid. The area between the inner square and the outer circular border is filled with additional Quranic or benedictory inscriptions in cursive Arabic script, running along all four sides. The entire design is framed by a beaded outer border, typical of Almohad minting practice. The flan is slightly irregular and shows characteristic hammered surface texture. |
