1 Dinar - Abu Ziyan Muhammad II Tilimsan

The Zayyanid sultanate of Tlemcen spent much of the fourteenth century caught between the competing expansionist ambitions of the Marinids to the west and the Hafsids to the east, making uninterrupted rule the exception rather than the rule. Abu Ziyan Muhammad II's reign in the 1390s fell into the dynasty's late period, when Tlemcen's once-considerable regional influence had contracted substantially.

North African gold dinars of this period follow the weight standard inherited from earlier Maghrebi reform coinage, though Zayyanid issues are among the least-documented in Western auction records — genuine examples surface rarely outside Algerian institutional collections.
