This is the second type of the coinage of the the Caliph al-Musta’in struck in the Holy City of Mecca. It is not clear why the striking of dinars was resumed in this extraordinarily rare mint. Al-Musta’in was the grandson of the Caliph al-Mu’tasim, and the coinage may have been intended to underline the legitimacy of his rule, which was supported by some of the Turkish commanders who had plucked him from obscurity to fill the office of caliph after the death of al-Muntasir in AH 248. However, another faction of the soldiery disapproved of al-Musta’in's rule and arranged for his overthrow after less than three years and his replacement on the throne by al-Mu’tazz.
