| Reversbeschreibung | Central field contains three lines of Kufic Arabic script presenting verses from Surah Al-Ikhlas (112:1-3), affirming the absolute oneness and eternity of God. A circular marginal legend in Kufic script surrounds the central inscription, recording the mint formula with the Hijri year of issue in place of a mint name, consistent with the anonymous no-mintname series. The reverse design adheres strictly to the aniconic epigraphic tradition established by the Umayyad monetary reform of AH 77 (696/697 CE). The hammered flan displays slight irregularity at the edges, typical of hand-struck Umayyad gold coinage. The script is angular early Kufic, executed with clarity and regularity appropriate to the high-value gold denomination. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The anonymous Umayyad dinar without mintname descends from the sweeping monetary reform of Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan in 696–697 AD, which deliberately stripped all figurative imagery from Islamic coinage and replaced it with Quranic text alone — a direct repudiation of Byzantine numismatic convention. The absence of a mint designation was not an oversight; central Umayyad policy consolidated prestige gold production at Damascus, making the mintname redundant on the highest-denomination coinage.
By the reign of Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, the dinar had achieved such consistent fineness that it circulated without friction across the Mediterranean trading world, accepted by Christian merchants who cared more about the gold content than the theology inscribed on it.
