Notes
Unique. While the principal gold coin of all other Fatimid mints was the dinar, Sicily alone issued the quarter dinar, or tari, as its chief coin. Nicol records full dinars with the mint name “Siqilliya” dated AH 345 and 361 of al-Mu’izz and 415, 416 (?) and 422 of al-Zahir. This is the first dinar recorded from Sicily bearing the name of Nizar al-‘Aziz. While the island and province were both named “Siqilliya”, it is very likely that the actual mint place was Palermo (Balarm), the chief town of the island.
