| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bearing three horizontal lines of Kufic Arabic inscription arranged concentrically within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a dotted border and an outer marginal legend band. The epigraphic content constitutes the Shahada and mint formula. The flan is irregular and slightly chipped, characteristic of hammered Andalusian dirhams of the Umayyad period. The overall style reflects the austere, purely calligraphic tradition of Umayyad coinage, devoid of figurative imagery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
'Abd al-Rahman III proclaimed himself Caliph in 929 — a direct political challenge to both the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad and the Fatimid Caliphate rising in North Africa. The assumption of the caliphal title was not merely ceremonial; it required a coinage reform, as only a caliph had the legitimate authority to strike silver in his own name with full religious formula. These dirhams were the fiscal instrument of that declaration.
The Córdoba mint's silver at this period was exceptionally pure, sourced largely from Iberian mines under Umayyad control in the Sierra Morena.
