Dinar - Al-Aziz Billah

Al-Aziz Billah, the fifth Fatimid caliph, oversaw the conquest of Syria and came closer than any Fatimid ruler to unseating the Abbasid caliphate outright. His dinars were struck at mints across Egypt and the Levant — al-Mansuriyya, Misr, and Filastin among them — and mint attribution matters considerably here, as output and survival rates vary sharply by location.

Fatimid gold was respected across the Mediterranean precisely because the caliphate controlled trans-Saharan gold routes. Byzantine and Italian merchants accepted these dinars on weight and fineness alone.
