| Reverse description | Reverse of this hammered gold dinar displays a multi-line central Arabic legend within a plain inner circle, referencing the Ismaili Imam al-Mustansir billah, Amir al-Muminin, in four horizontal lines. The field inscription reads 'al-Imam / al-Mustansir / billah Amir / al-Muminin.' A circumferential marginal legend occupies the border between the inner circle and the irregular outer rim, carrying the Quranic verse (Sura al-Tawba 9:33) invoking divine sanction for the faith. The bold, well-defined Arabic script stands in high relief against the flat gold field, consistent with Nizari Ismaili dinar types of the early 13th century. |
