'Abbasid Caliphate. Al-Mu'tadid. AH 279-289 / AD 892-902. AV Dinar (21mm, 4.11 g, 10h). Amid mint. Dated AH 288 (AD 900/01). Cf. CNG Islamic Auction 3 (27 April 2023) lot 108 (dated AH 289); Bernardi type 211 (not recorded for this mint); Album 241. Good VF, edge marks, slightly buckled flan. Excessively rare, and apparently unpublished.

Amid is one of the rarest mints for ‘Abbasid gold, and this appears to be the earliest known date in which dinars were struck there.
