| Additional information |
The Khazrunids were a minor Berber dynasty controlling Tripolitania in the mid-eleventh century, nominally subordinate to the Zirids of Ifriqiya who were themselves vassals of the Fatimid caliphate in Cairo. Anonymous gold dinars from this context are among the more elusive issues of North African medieval numismatics — the dynasty's output was limited, their political footing perpetually unstable, and few pieces have been catalogued with secure provenance.
By 1046 the Banu Khazrun had lost Tripoli entirely to the Zirids. A dinar struck a decade before that collapse carries the full weight of that fragility.
