| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered gold dinar of irregular flan with the central field bearing a multi-line Kufic Arabic religious inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle. The central legend contains the Shahada and the name of the Abbasid caliph al-Qa'im bi-Amr Allah. An inner marginal band carries the mint and date formula recording the striking at al-Basra in the year 459 AH, while an outer marginal band contains a Quranic verse (Quran 9:33). The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, characteristic of Seljuq gold coinage of this period. |

Alp Arslan's reign reached its defining moment just four years after this dinar was struck at al-Basra, when his forces annihilated the Byzantine army at Manzikert in 1071 and captured Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes — the single engagement that opened Anatolia to Turkic settlement. The Basra mint had been a prestige production center since Abbasid times, and Seljuq issues from it carry that administrative weight.
Album 1679.1 distinguishes this subtype within the broader Alp Arslan coinage by mint and formula specifics. Basra-mint Seljuq gold of this period is considerably scarcer than contemporary Nishapur or Isfahan output.
