Abstract

This research deals with the publication of a rare Ayyubid dinar in the name of Turan Shah (the first) struck in Aden in the year 573 AH, and it is published in this research for the first time. The reason for the scarcity of this dinar is due to the scarcity of the gold coins that were minted in Yemen during the reign of King Turan Shah, This dinar is the first Ayyubid dinar to reach our hands in the name of King Turan Shah (the first) - as far as I know - and the research deals with describing the general form of the dinar and studying the texts of his writings, analyzing, and original them through contemporary historical and political events to reveal the causes and results of the Ayyubid campaign against Yemen, and to highlight the relationship the solid bond between money and political aspects, It is known that coins are one of the badges of the king, and the most important pillar of the state, its title, and evidence of its glory.
