Abbasid Dinar (Minted in Misr/Egypt 224 AH) Reign of Al-Mu'tasim Billah
From Egypt, the "Quiver of God" and the treasury of the West, this dinar was struck during the reign of the powerful Caliph Al-Mu'tasim Billah. Issued in 224 AH, shortly after the conquest of Amorium, it reflects the economic might that funded the formidable Abbasid armies. This dinar embodies the state's military prestige, confirming that Egyptian gold was the backbone upon which the Caliphate relied during its grand wars against the Byzantines.<!-- notionvc: 7bf43147-1391-49b2-9ba0-32ce58651ca0 -->
