| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three concentric circular legend bands surrounding a central dot within the innermost field, mirroring the obverse layout. The innermost band repeats the caliph's abbreviated title, while the middle band records the mint and date formula in the name of God, citing Makka as the place of striking and the year 363 AH. The outer band bears the Quranic verse from Sura 9:33 (al-Tawba), a hallmark of Fatimid coinage asserting the supremacy of the true religion. All legends are executed in angular Kufic script on a plain gold field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah moved the Fatimid capital from al-Mansuriyya in Tunisia to the newly founded Cairo in 973, just one year before this dinar was struck — making issues from 974 among the earliest Egyptian Fatimid gold. The transfer of the caliph's body to Cairo, along with his treasury, marked the definitive westward shift of Abbasid pressure and Fatimid ambition simultaneously. Fatimid dinars of this period are notable for their exceptionally pure gold, routinely assaying above 97%, which gave them a commercial credibility that made them accepted tender far beyond the caliphate's borders.
