These are the dinars ([gold](https://www.worldhistory.org/gold/) coins) inscribed in the reign of Caliph al-Ma'mun (r. 813-833 CE). Notice that they consist of inscriptions only and not illustrations, as was the case with Rashidun and early [Umayyad](https://www.worldhistory.org/Umayyad_Dynasty/) coins, the Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik standardized coins, this pattern was taken up by the Abbasids as well.
