| Beschrijving voorzijde | Epigraphic type with no figural imagery, consistent with Abbasid aniconic coinage. The central field displays a multi-line Arabic religious legend arranged in horizontal rows within an inner circle. The marginal legend runs continuously around the coin within a dotted border, carrying a Quranic inscription. The overall layout follows the classic reform dinar format established after the Umayyad coinage reform, with careful calligraphic execution in Kufic script. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Epigraphic reverse following the standard Abbasid anonymous dinar format. The central field contains multiple horizontal lines of Kufic Arabic text recording the mint formula and Hijri date of issue. A circular marginal legend in Kufic script runs within a beaded border around the periphery, continuing the religious and administrative inscriptions. The flan is slightly irregular and shows characteristic hammer-struck surfaces. The absence of any figural or symbolic device reflects strict Abbasid adherence to aniconic coinage principles. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The anonymous Abbasid dinar — carrying no caliph's name — was a deliberate policy, not an oversight. The Abbasids inherited the reformed coinage system established by Abd al-Malik in the 690s, which had stripped all figural imagery and introduced purely epigraphic designs. Harun al-Rashid's administration maintained this tradition of caliphal anonymity on gold, with religious formulae functioning as the sole statement of authority.
Album 218 covers a long type-span, and attribution to a specific regnal year within the Rashid period typically depends on the mint name and date present in the margin inscription.
