| Beschrijving keerzijde | Aniconic reverse featuring horizontal registers of Kufic Arabic script within a central medallion, containing Quranic verse (Surah 9:33) affirming the mission of the Prophet, along with the mint name and regnal year in the lower register. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central field, bounded by a beaded inner circle and an outer beaded rim. The composition adheres strictly to the reformed Abbasid epigraphic type, devoid of any figural or decorative motifs, with a small ornamental device visible above the uppermost line of the central legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Al-Mu'tazz came to power only after his father al-Mutawakkil was murdered by Turkish military commanders in 861, inaugurating the period historians call the "Anarchy at Samarra" — a decade during which the Turkish guard made and unmade caliphs at will. Al-Mu'tazz himself was deposed and killed in 869, his treasury deliberately starved by the same commanders who had elevated him. Gold coinage from his reign is consequently thin on the ground; the fiscal apparatus of the caliphate was effectively under Turkish control throughout.
