FATIMID: Crusader imitation: al-Mustansir, 1036-1094, AV dinar (3.65g), "Tarabulus", AH"453", A-720, Nicol-2009var, derived from Nicol type-I1, with three small floral designs in the inner margin, on both obverse & reverse, VF to EF, RR. The date seems more like an imitation of 463 than 453, not surprising, as there are dozens of calligraphic errors throughout this imitative type. This piece was struck from dies with greater calligraphic degeneration than the specimen illustrated by Nicol, especially on the obverse.
