Overview
In 427 the caliph al-Qadir billah ordered an end to dealing in "Maghrebi" dinars — the dinars of the 'Ubaydid (Fatimid) state in Egypt — and instructed court witnesses not to attest any deed of sale, license, or loan in which this coin was named; people shifted to the Qadiri, Nishapuri and Qashani dinars 1.
