| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in Kufic script, referencing the caliph al-Radi Billah and the shahada or related religious formulae, arranged in three to four lines within a raised inner circle. A continuous circular marginal legend in Kufic script surrounds the central device, separated by a beaded or plain inner ring. The coin exhibits the characteristic flat, irregular flan of hammered Abbasid gold coinage, with the inscriptions slightly off-center as is common for this donative series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Al-Radi bi'llah, who reigned from 934 to 940, was the last Abbasid caliph to exercise anything resembling genuine political authority before the Buyid takeover reduced his successors to ceremonial figureheads. Donative dinars of this reign were struck not for general circulation but for distribution at court — gifts to officials, soldiers, or poets — and consequently saw little to no handling wear.
The underweight fabric at 1.33 g places this well below the classical Abbasid mithqal standard of roughly 4.25 g, consistent with donative pieces intentionally struck on reduced flans.
