| Reverse description | The reverse of this hammered gold dinar presents multiple horizontal registers of Kufic Arabic script within a plain inner circle, containing the name and titles of Caliph al-Muqtadir Billah alongside the Muhammadan invocation. A circular marginal legend in Kufic script borders the outer ring, completing the religious and dynastic proclamation. The script is finely executed in the angular Kufic style characteristic of Abbasid gold coinage of the early fourth century AH. No figurative motifs are present, consistent with the aniconic numismatic tradition of the Abbasid court. The overall fabric is typical of hammered dinars of this period, showing slight irregularity at the flan edges. |
