Islamic Dynasties
Ayyubid. al-Nasir Salah al-Din Yusuf I (Saladin; AH 564-589 / AD 1169-1183) gold Dinar AH 581 (AD 1185/6)MS66 NGC, al-Iskandariya mint, A-785.2, ICV-889 (this coin), SICA-864. 4.74gm. Citing the Abbasid caliph al-Mustadi. Simply phenomenal quality, even for this frequently high-grade type, with hardly a post-mint adulteration visible anywhere over the surfaces, gleaming with golden luster. Though census reports include few entries for Saladin's dinars, the present piece likely represents one of the finest extant.
