Comment
This piece cites no mint, but the style resembles that of Adan.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Dinar - al-Fatik III 531 (1137) from Najahid dynasty (Arabian Peninsula) made of Electrum weighing 2.02 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and pre-Islamic elements in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-Fatik III" and "531" in Hijri year, indicating the year in which it was minted. The reverse side of the coin features an image of a standing figure, believed to be a representation of the king al-Fatik III, surrounded by a circle of dots and a crescent moon above. This blend of Islamic and pre-Islamic elements reflects the cultural and religious influences of the time and adds to the coin's historical significance.
