ARAB-BUKHARAN, TEMP. HARUN AL-RASHID, GOVERNOR ‘ALISilver Muhammadiya drachm, without mint or dateOBVERSE: Degraded Sasanian bust right Behind head: Muhammadiya (the term for the fine silver issue of this type) Beneath bust: Mimma amara bihi ‘Ali Before face: Sogdian legendREVERSE: Degraded fire-altar and attendantsWEIGHT: 2.10gREFERENCES: Album ‘96E’; Zeno 117759, this pieceCONDITION: Good very fine and of the highest rarity NOTE: This extremely rare coin belongs to a group which constitutes some of the very last Islamic coins to follow pre-Islamic prototypes. The design ultimately derives from a Sasanian drachm of Varhran V, issued in the early fifth century A.D., which was imitated on coins struck at Bukhara for centuries before the coming of Islam. These pre-Islamic rulers used the title Bukharkhudat. Much as in Sijistan, where the Islamic coinage of the 8th century Hijri alternated between regular, post-Reform Umayyad and Abbasid dirhams and debased Arab-Sasanian drachms, Bukhara also seems to have continued to strike Islamicized Bukharkhudat drachms alongside more conventional Islamic coins. In both cases the explanation seems to have been a combination of geographical remoteness and an unwillingness among the local population to accept the new coinage, with which they may well still have been unfamiliar. The governor cited on this coin has been identified as ‘Ali b. ‘Isa b. Mahan, governor of Khurasan under Harun al-Rashid until his dismissal in 192h.
