| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is entirely epigraphic in the standard Abbasid dinar tradition, with horizontal lines of Kufic Arabic script arranged across the central field. The uppermost line contains the Bismillah formula, followed by multiple lines recording the mint name, regnal year in Hijri dating, and additional religious or administrative text. A marginal legend in Arabic Kufic script encircles the central inscription, separated from it by a plain inner border. A further outer marginal band carries additional Quranic or administrative text along the coin's periphery. The workmanship reflects the refined epigraphic style characteristic of the Abbasid chancery tradition of the mid-third century AH. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Al-Musta'in's reign was defined almost entirely by his captivity within his own court. The Turkish military commanders — Wasif and Bugha the Younger chief among them — had by the 860s reduced the caliph to a figurehead, and when al-Musta'in briefly fled Samarra for Baghdad in 865 in an attempt to reassert authority, the Turks simply besieged the city and forced his abdication. He was murdered shortly after. Dinars struck in his name were issued from multiple mints across a caliphate that was, in practical terms, no longer his to govern.
