| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered gold dinar reverse, displaying multi-line Arabic legends in the central field arranged in horizontal registers. The central area reads 'God / Muhammad is the Messenger of God / Jayyash ibn al-Mu'ayyad / the Imam al-Mustazhir bi-Allah / Commander of the Faithful,' acknowledging both the Najahid ruler Jayyash ibn al-Mu'ayyad and the Abbasid Caliph al-Mustazhir as suzerain. The design is framed by a single or double circular border, with the lettering executed in a bold Arabic script consistent with Yemeni Fatimid-influenced dinar production of the late eleventh century. The irregular flan and characteristic hammered fabric are typical of this mint and period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Najahids were an Abyssinian slave-dynasty who carved out autonomous control over Yemen in the eleventh century, nominally subordinate to the Fatimid caliphate in Cairo. Jayyash ibn al-Mu'ayyad ruled during a period of persistent factional pressure from rival Yemeni powers, and coinage in his name is genuinely scarce — the dynasty's output was never prolific, and gold issues attributable to specific rulers within it surface rarely in the trade.
The Fatimid weight standard underpins this piece, consistent with Najahid practice of aligning their gold to Cairo's monetary conventions despite operating well outside direct Fatimid administrative control.
