Fatimid, al-Qa'im (322-334h), posthumous dinar, al-Qayrawan 336h, 4.18g (Nicol 149), almost very fine and very rare. This is the latest date for Fatimid coins from the mint of Qayrawan, struck after the city was recaptured from the rebel al-Nukkari. Although al-Qa'im died in 334h his successor, al-Mansur, continued to strike coins in the name of his predecessor for some two years. Qayrawan ceased to be active as a Fatimid mint after al-Mansur established a new capital at al-Mansuriya, begun in 335h and active as a mint-town from 338h onwards.
