| Additional information |
Al-Amin's reign lasted only four years before he was besieged in Baghdad and killed in 813, making his coinage a compressed and historically charged series. The civil war against his brother al-Ma'mun — backed by Khorasan and the eastern provinces — disrupted mint operations and likely suppressed output in his final years. Issues from 811 fall squarely in the period before the siege tightened.
