1 Dinar

Kelantan's gold dinar was revived under the state government of Nik Abdul Aziz as a deliberate challenge to Malaysia's federal monetary framework, rooted in the Islamic economic philosophy of returning to commodity-backed exchange. The Malaysian federal government was quick to clarify that the coins held no legal tender status nationally, leaving them in a peculiar position: ceremonially significant, theologically motivated, and commercially marginal.

The revival drew directly on the classical Islamic dinar weight standard codified by the Maliki jurist Ibn Rushd, not the Mughal or Ottoman variants.
