Umayyad Caliphate golden dinar .
The dinar (/dɪˈnɑːr/), the principal currency unit in several countries, was used historically in several more. The modern dinar's historical antecedents are the gold dinar, the main coin of the medieval Islamic empires, first issued in AH 77 (696-697 AD) by Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan. The word dinar derives from the silver denarius coin of ancient Rome, first minted about 211 BC.
