| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered gold dinar of irregular flan, struck in the name of the Abbasid Caliph al-Radi Billah. The central field carries three lines of Kufic Arabic religious legend within a plain inner circle, declaring the Islamic profession of faith. A mint and date formula occupies the inner margin, while the outer margin bears a Quranic citation from Surah al-Tawbah (9:33) rendered in angular Kufic script. The overall composition is characteristic of classical Abbasid epigraphic coinage, with no figural imagery, relying entirely on calligraphic text for its decorative and devotional effect. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Al-Radi bi-llah, who reigned from 934 to 940, was the last Abbasid caliph to exercise any meaningful political authority — his successors became ceremonial figureheads while the Buyid amirs held real power. The Amiri designation on this dinar reflects the growing practice of secular military commanders inserting their own titles into the coin's legends, a quiet but legible record of the caliphate's hollowing out.
