| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the shahada in three lines of bold Kufic script occupying the central field, reading the Islamic declaration of faith. The central legend is enclosed within a single line inner circle, surrounded by an annular marginal legend in Arabic Kufic script. The outer margin is further framed by a plain linear border, with small pellet or annulet ornaments punctuating the field at cardinal points between the inner and outer circles, characteristic of early Abbasid hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Al-Mahdi's reign saw a deliberate tightening of Abbasid mint administration, with the caliph's name appearing more consistently on coinage than under his predecessors — part of a broader effort to centralize authority after the turbulent transition from Umayyad rule. Mints from Madinat al-Salam to the eastern provinces at al-Muhammadiyya and beyond all struck to the reformed standard his grandfather al-Mansur had established.
Album 215.1 distinguishes the primary issue from several related varieties differentiated by mint name and marginal inscriptions — attribution without a legible mint is possible but limits value to type identification only.
