FATIMID: al-Zahir, 1021-1036, AV dinar (4.38g), Barqa, AH416, A-714.1, Nicol-1549, mint name weak but very likely due to some weakness of strike, VF to EF, RRR.

IMPORTANT UPDATED INFORMATION: The mint is definitely not al-Mansuriya or al-Mahdiya, but must be another North African locality, and is engraved similarly to the AH414 dinar of Barqa, an extremely mint, especially for al-Zahir. It not Barqa, it must be another mint name that has never been seen before, but that it unlikely. So most likely it is Barqa, now in the coastal region of modern Libya.
