Hi all!
How much worth this dinar? 

I have researched a lot about an estimate of the coin, but I can't find any answer.

Here's more info for you. Seems like it's probably too rare a coin to have much info on value, unless you can find old auctions.

A quote from an article;

Quote

 

"Eltal goes on to explain that the oldest promissory note was not able to be sustained; it was discontinued after a short period, making it the rarest Umayyad coin. “The Standing Caliph Dinar was canceled between 76AH-77AH (695-696) and that is the main reason behind the extreme rarity thereof,” states Eltal.

The article also shares that the fact that standing caliph dinar coins were minted in Damascus was only recently discovered after an Umayyad gold coin with the city’s name engraved on it was recovered. Until then, it was not known that there was a mint in Damascus. According to Eltal, the Standing Caliph Dinar coin is of the rarest and highest value due to its historical significance and rarity."

 

From here.

This was published last year and the person who has written it is a collector of these. He has also left his email at the bottom of that page, perhaps it would be helpful to get in touch with him and see if he has anymore information?

[Nordle11]

There is also one example in the British museum as per this PDF. Search for '76' and the info is there.

Seems to me that you're going to struggle to find a value and that you will get quoted wildly different prices (if you're selling the coin that is), because it's pretty rare.
