| Reversbeschreibung | Central field features the same large interlaced quatrefoil ornamental motif as the obverse, composed of four symmetrically arranged sinuous scrolls radiating from a central pellet, executed in crisp hammered relief. The design exemplifies the highly stylized decorative vocabulary of Abbasid coinage under al-Muqtadir, departing from the purely epigraphic format typical of standard Abbasid dirhams. A marginal Arabic religious legend encircles the ornamental central device along the border, invoking the Quranic verse and Prophetic titles. The irregular flan edge is consistent with hand-struck silver coinage of the early tenth century. The reverse composition mirrors the obverse, giving this donative type its distinctive double-ornamental character. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Al-Muqtadir's reign was among the most administratively chaotic in Abbasid history — he was deposed twice, briefly replaced by al-Qahir in 317 AH, then restored, before finally being killed in battle against his own troops in 320 AH. Donative dirhams issued under his name served a specific political function: distributed during court ceremonies, religious festivals, and to military commanders whose loyalty was perpetually in question.
The ornamental type, stripped of the dense Quranic and mint inscriptions found on commercial coinage, was never intended for trade. These pieces circulated within the palace economy, if at all.
