AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description of the Dinar (Marinid Dynasty)
Period: 1244 - 1258
This coin belongs to the Marinid dynasty. It is distinguished by its elegant Maghrebi calligraphy and its design of a square inscribed in a circle, typical of the numismatic art of the period.
OBVERSE
Central square:
الواحد الله (God is One)
محمد رسول الله (Muhammad is the Messenger of God)
الراضي لامر الله (He who is pleased with God’s order)
REVERSE
Central square:
الحمد لله (Praise be to God)
والشكر لله (And gratitude is to God)
والقدرة لله (And power is to God)
Contextual Numismatics
This is a Marinid dobla. Unlike Almohad coins, this type of piece reintroduces titles of direct sovereignty (such as Al-Radi) and uses Qur’anic verses in the circular margins. It bears witness to the political transition in the Maghreb and in Al-Andalus after the fall of Almohad hegemonic dominance.
