Nounدِينَارٌ1 sense

Core sense — a dīnār, a certain gold coingenerated

1

Er-Rāghib: an arabicized word, from the Persian [دِينَارْ], or from دِينْ آرْ, meaning “the law brought it” [into being or circulation].

Some say its original is دِنَّارٌ, one of its ن being changed into ى to make it easier to pronounce, or so that it is not confused with maṣdars such as كِذَّابٌ; hence its plural is دَنَانِيرُ and its diminutive دُنَيْنِيرٌ. This is the opinion generally held.

Others say it is of the measure فِيعَالٌ, but this opinion is contradicted by the absence of the ى in [the second syllable of] the plural; for if it were so, its plural would be like دَيَامِيسُ, plural of دِيمَاسٌ.

[It is the name of A certain gold coin;] its weight is nearly seventy-one and a half barley-corns, reckoning the دَانِق as eight and two fifths grains of wheat; but if the دانق is said to be eight grains of wheat, then the دينار is sixty-eight and four sevenths grains of wheat. It is the same as the مَثْقَال.

Qur’ānic occurrences دِينَار
3:75
وَمِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مَنْ إِن تَأْمَنْهُ بِقِنطَارٍ يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ إِن تَأْمَنْهُ بِدِينَارٍ لَّا يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا مَا دُمْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَآئِمًا ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا۟ لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ سَبِيلٌ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

Among the People of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding, because, they say, "there is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (Pagans)." but they tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it.

Occurrences of this form in the Qur’ān, not Lane’s choice of verse. They show the word in use; they do not say which sense above applies. Where more occur than are shown, the shortest āyāt are chosen.
