| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle, proclaiming the titles and name of the Great Seljuq sultan Malikshah I as 'al-Sultan al-Mu'azzam Malikshah, Nasir Amir al-Muminin,' acknowledging both his temporal sovereignty and his role as defender of the caliphate. The upper field opens with the divine invocation 'lillah' (to God). The marginal legend, partially legible due to the irregular flan, contains the mint name and regnal date, both of which are uncertain on this specimen. Three pellets arranged vertically in the left field serve as decorative separators, a common feature of Seljuq hammered coinage. The overall style is consistent with Album 1675 type dinars struck during Malikshah I's reign (AH 465–485). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Malikshah I ruled the Seljuq sultanate at its greatest territorial extent, but centralized mint control was never a strength of the dynasty. Gold dinars from his reign circulated across an enormous geographic range — from Anatolia to Khurasan — and many were struck at provincial mints that either omitted or corrupted their mint signatures entirely. The pale gold composition here likely reflects a regional treasury drawing on debased local bullion rather than the higher-purity output of the main Abbasid-adjacent mints.
