| Beschrijving voorzijde | Typical Abbasid hammered silver dirham of aniconic design, struck on an irregularly shaped flan. The central field bears the shahada in three horizontal lines of elegant Kufic script, arranged within a plain inner circle. A circular inner marginal legend surrounds the central inscription, containing the mint and date formula in Arabic, with the basmala opening. The outer annular legend carries the Quranic verse from Sura 9:33 (al-Tawbah), separated from the inner margin by a beaded border. The overall execution is characteristic of mid-third-century AH Abbasid coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Al-Muhtadi ruled for less than a year — from 869 to 870 AD — before being killed by Turkish military strongmen who had long controlled the Abbasid court at Samarra. He was the only Abbasid caliph of this period to seriously attempt a rollback of Turkish dominance, cutting off stipends and dismissing commanders, which made his assassination essentially inevitable. Dirhams bearing his name circulated for an exceptionally brief window, and the reign's numismatic output is correspondingly thin.
