Note: This AR Dirhem, struck in Wasit during the reign of Al-Mu’tamid, offers a glimpse into the Abbasid Caliphate’s economic and political landscape. Wasit, situated on the banks of the Tigris River, was a significant center of trade and administration during the Abbasid era. Under the rule of Al-Mu’tamid, the Abbasid Caliphate faced both internal and external challenges, yet also experienced periods of cultural and economic prosperity. This coin serves as a tangible artifact of this dynamic period in Abbasid history, reflecting the enduring legacy of Al-Mu’tamid’s reign and the importance of Wasit as a minting center.
