Description
The Gold Dinar is a gold coin historically used in Islamic civilizations and has been revived in modern times by various mints and governments. Traditionally, it was minted in the Islamic Caliphate, with early versions dating back to the 7th century under Caliph Abd al-Malik. In modern times, countries like Malaysia and certain private mints produce Gold Dinar coins for investment and economic use.
Design
The design of the Gold Dinar varies depending on the issuing authority. Historically, early Dinars featured Arabic inscriptions with religious texts, including the Shahada (Islamic declaration of faith) and Quranic verses. Modern Gold Dinar coins often retain traditional Islamic calligraphy, geometric patterns, and cultural symbols while including weight and purity details. Standard Gold Dinars are typically made of 22K or 24K gold, weighing approximately 4.25 grams, which is equivalent to the original Islamic Dinar weight.
