'Abbasid Caliphate. Al-Mu'tadid. AH 279-289 / AD 892-902. AV Dinar (24.1mm, 4.41 g, 7h). Amid mint. Dated AH 289 (AD 901/2). Cf. Bernardi type 211 (where this mint is not recorded); Album 241. Good VF. Of the highest rarity, apparently unpublished.
Amid is one of the rarest mints for 'Abbasid gold, and Bernardi records examples from jusr four years: AH 291, 292, 293 and 311. The present coin appears to be the only known example from the reign of al-Mu'tadid and is also the earliest known gold coin from the mint.
