| Beschrijving voorzijde | Purely epigraphic design struck in the Umayyad-derived Abbasid tradition, with no figural imagery. The central field bears a three-line Arabic Kalima inscription arranged in horizontal registers, proclaiming the Shahada. An inner marginal band separates the central field from the outer legend, which carries the Quranic verse from Surat al-Tawba (9:33) attesting to the mission of the Prophet Muhammad. The entire surface is framed by a beaded border characteristic of Abbasid gold coinage of the late 2nd century AH. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Purely epigraphic reverse in the standard Abbasid format, with the central field displaying four lines of Arabic text arranged in horizontal registers: the name of the Prophet Muhammad, the regnal title of the caliph al-Rashid, and the name 'Umar in the field — an administrative or gubernatorial notation distinctive to this type. The mint formula occupies the lowest register. An inner marginal band encloses the field, while the outer legend carries the mint and date formula running continuously around the coin. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border. |

Harun al-Rashid's gold dinars are among the most precisely controlled coinages of the early Abbasid period. His administration enforced strict weight standards across the fiscal apparatus, and the absence of a mint name on this type is not an omission — it was deliberate policy, following the Umayyad convention that the dinar required no geographic attribution, its authority derived entirely from the caliph's name and the purity of the gold itself.
The addition of ʿUmar in the field identifies this as a variety attributed to the fiscal oversight of a named official, a practice Harun employed to fix administrative accountability directly onto the coin. Album 218.8 distinguishes it within a tightly sequenced series of field-name variants across his 23-year reign.
