ABBASID, TEMP. AL-SAFFAH (132-136h), Dinar, without mint-name, 132h. WEIGHT: 4.26g. REFERENCES: Bernardi 51; Lowick 177. CONDITION: Spademark in reverse field, minor edge marks and flan very slightly buckled, otherwise very fine and extremely rare. NOTE: Abbasid dinars of 132h have long been appreciated both for their rarity - fewer examples are known than of the celebrated Umayyad ‘year 77’ dinar - and historical significance, being the first gold coins struck by this long-lived dynasty. Although very rare today, these coins can nevertheless be grouped into two types on stylistic grounds and it has been suggested that this may reflect the work of two different workshops or even mints. The first, characterized by neater and finer calligraphy, is represented here by lot 35, while lot 36 is of the second type with engraving of coarser style.
