Dinar - al-Mustanjid al-Salam

Al-Mustanjid's reign (1160–1170) was one of the few late Abbasid periods in which the caliph exercised something approaching genuine political authority rather than functioning as a figurehead under Seljuk domination. The Seljuk grip on Baghdad had fractured badly enough by this point that al-Mustanjid could maneuver independently, including ordering the burning of books he deemed heretical from the library of his own vizier.

The epithet "al-Salam" on the coin refers to Madinat al-Salam — the old ceremonial name for Baghdad itself, tracing back to the city's Abbasid foundation under al-Mansur in 762.
