Obverse: Al Azhar Mosque and its Minarets.Al-Azhar Mosque (Al-Jāmiʿ al-ʾAzhar, lit.u2009'The Resplendent Congregational Mosque'), known simply in Egypt as al-Azhar. It is an Egyptian mosque in Islamic Cairo. Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid dynasty commissioned its construction for the newly established capital city in 970. Its name is usually thought to derive from az-Zahrāʾ (meaning "the shining one"), a title given to Fatimah. It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city that has since gained the nickname "the City of a Thousand Minarets".
