Abstract

Many previous studies showed the commemorative coins under the Islamic rule were struck in order to special occasions, And there was no specific rule for their weight, such as the coins in circulation as the commemorative coins were distinguished by their different weight and size, as well as the text of their writings, so they were given to senior statesmen and Princes and leaders, and it is also granted to the poor and the first of the wombs, and perhaps that is the reason that made what we received of this coins a few examples. It appeared through this research that the memorial criticism, which immortalized an important occasion in the Arab Islamic state in the first Abbasid era (132-232Ah:750-847Ad), as it expresses apolitical occasion which is the exclusiveness of the caliph Al-Amin in ruling, and this dirham is considered material evidence to prove and consolidate the pillars of his rule as well as announcing the subjects that he is the legitimate Calipha of the country, and Zubeida celebrated that happy event for her because she thus became the mother of the Calipha in addition to being the wife of the Calipha and the daughter of the Calipha, and also confirms her ability to strike coins bearing her name despite the fact that the responsibility of striking the coins was on the caliph`s shoulders to her grandson, Mousa, the one who speaks the truth, and Abdullah the one who establishes the truth, with the mandate of the covenant, and that they have become on the cusp of the Islamic caliphate.
