Aghlabides, Ziyadat Allah III, gold dinar "of presentation", AH 296 - Gold - 4,2 g - S. Album 452 - Bernardi 147 ("also with broad edge, probably a donative") - Lavoix 2/887. Rare and very nice copy ! TTB to Superb Throughout the Aghlabid period, monotony was the distinctive characteristic of the monetary production for the three metals. The Aghlabids were content to imitate the very simple monetary type, inherited from the Umayyads and then the first Abbasids. This type is composed of two legends, one central and one marginal without separation. Under the Aghlabids until the reign of the last prince, Ziyadat Allah III (903-909), it was the unchanged model in the monetary workshops. The reign of the last emir was marked by the issue of new dinars whose type began to break with the typological tradition of his predecessors. In 293 (906), a new type of dinar was struck, for the first time, with a first linear circle separating the two legends and a second surrounding the marginal legend. This type will be struck again in 294/907, 295/908 and 296/909 like our copy.
