CrUSAder imitAtion

447 al-Mustansir, Gold Dinar, Akka 492h (sic), 4.24g, an unrecorded Crusader imitation. About extremely fine and of the highest rarity. 2000-2500

This newly discovered imitation of a Fatimid Dinar, presumably of Crusader origin, is struck from high quality gold. However, its origins are given away by the slightly crude calligraphy and the fact that, while struck in the name of al-Mustansir, the date would identify it as a coin which should have been in the name of al-Mustali. Together these provide evidence of its non-Fatimid origins.
