| Reverse description | Reverse of this hammered gold dinar displays a central field with a four-line Kufic epigraphic composition enclosed within a plain inner circle and surrounded by a beaded border. The central inscription names the Abbasid Caliph al-Mustakfi Billah, identifying the issuing authority. A continuous marginal legend in Kufic script runs along the outer rim, recording the mint name and the year of issue in the Hijri calendar. The execution is consistent with late Abbasid hammered coinage, with squared Kufic letterforms characteristic of the mid-fourth century AH. |
