Dinar - Saladin Cairo

Beschrijving voorzijde	Central field enclosed by a plain inner circle surrounded by a double circle, with a counter-clockwise circular Arabic legend filling the inner zone. A further marginal Arabic legend runs counter-clockwise between the double circle and the outer border. The inscriptions follow the Ayyubid calligraphic tradition, rendered in the Kufic or Naskhi script characteristic of Saladin's coinage. The overall design is typical of hammered Fatimid-derived Ayyubid gold dinars, with no figural imagery.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Central field enclosed by a plain inner circle surrounded by a double circle, with a counter-clockwise circular Arabic legend occupying the central zone. A marginal Arabic legend runs counter-clockwise in the outer annular band between the double circle and the beaded or plain border. The inscriptions contain the shahada and royal titulature of Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, consistent with Ayyubid dynastic coinage conventions for gold dinars struck at Cairo.
