Dinār (English spelling)

Japanese: ディーナール(英語表記)dīnār
Dinār (English spelling)
A gold coin that circulated in Islamic society alongside the silver dirham. The plural is danānīr. During the period of the great Arab conquests, the dinar was an imitation of the Byzantine gold coin (denarius), but in 691/2, the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik minted the dinar with a legal weight of 4.29 g (varies depending on the place of minting and the period), which became the standard currency until around the 10th century. It was used as a gold coin until the Mamluk period, but during the thriving Mediterranean trade, it functioned as an international currency. It is still used as a monetary unit in Iraq and Yugoslavia.

ディルハム銀貨と並んでイスラム社会に流通した金貨。複数は danānīr。アラブの大征服時代のディーナールはビザンチン帝国の金貨 (デナリウス) を模倣したものであったが,691/2年にウマイヤ朝のカリフ,アブドゥル・マリクが法定重量 4.29g (鋳造地,時代によって差がある) のディーナールを鋳造し,これが 10世紀頃までの標準貨幣とされた。金貨として用いられたのはマムルーク朝時代までであったが,地中海貿易の盛んなときには,国際通貨としての機能を果していた。イラクやユーゴスラビアでは現在でも貨幣単位として用いられている。
