| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents three concentric zones of Arabic Kufic script entirely filling the flan, with no figurative imagery, consistent with Islamic aniconic coinage tradition. The central field contains a multi-line religious inscription arranged in horizontal lines within a plain inner circle. A circular marginal legend in Arabic script surrounds the central field, separated by a dotted or linear border. The outermost zone features a further marginal legend running along the rim, enclosed between two linear circles. The entire design is characteristic of Andalusian Umayyad gold coinage, with densely packed, finely engraved Kufic lettering. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hisham II ascended at age ten and spent most of his reign as a figurehead controlled by the chamberlain al-Mansur ibn Abi Aamir, who conducted military campaigns across the Iberian Peninsula while keeping the young caliph effectively imprisoned in Medina Azahara. The gold coinage issued under his name during this period functioned as political theater — maintaining Umayyad legitimacy on the flan while real authority resided entirely elsewhere.
Al-Mansur died in 1002, and his son al-Muzaffar held the regency until 1008, collapsing the arrangement entirely and triggering the fitna that would eventually dissolve the Caliphate.
