Umayyad, dirham, Dashtaq 113h, obv., in margin: bismillah duriba hadha al-dirham bi-Dashtaq…, 2.86g (cf Klat 333.b [89h], 338.b [94h]), some die rust, good very fine and extremely rare. There is little doubt that ‘Dashtaq’ is an engraving error for ‘Dimashq’, with the letter mim replaced by a ‘tooth.’ This is the third recorded year in which the error is known, and on all known specimens not only is the calligraphy identical to contemporary Damascus coins but the annulet patterns and any diacritical points also match regular Damascus dirhams of the same date. It may also be noted that the date of this specimen – 113h – is a year in which very few other Umayyad silver mints outside Wasit and Damascus were operational.
