1935 Air Bleu Postal Service Timetable October. And 1931 100f ticket.

UNCERTAIN DYNASTY, ‘UBAYD ALLAH B. ZUHAYR (?). Gold dinar, without mint or date. OBVERSE: Crowned Sasanian bust right, within cross-hatched border; To right: ‘Ubayd... | Zuhayr. REVERSE: Sasanian fire-altar flanked by attendants, within cross-hatched border; To left barakat; to right: min Allah. WEIGHT: 1.73g. CONDITION: Severely double-struck, minor edge damage and some staining from atmospheric damage, fine and of the highest rarity, apparently unpublished and believed unique. It has long been doubted whether any gold coins of Arab-Sasanian type were ever struck. Discussing the question in the introduction to Volume 1 of Sylloge of Islamic Coins in the Ashmolean, Stephen Album was ‘led to conclude that there appears not to have been any gold coinage in the Arab-Sasanian series.’ Two purported dinars held by the British Museum are considered by Album to be crude casts made for jewellery in the nineteenth century (an opinion shared by Walker before him). Another piece, which surfaced in a Russian collection during the nineteenth century and which purports to be a gold coin of ‘Abdallah b. Khazim issued at Marw in 70h, appears to be of ancient manufacture but is of coarse style and, in Album’s view, best regarded as an ancient imitation or jewellery piece. Album did not exclude the possibility that Arab-Sasanian gold coins might have been struck, noting that the historians al-Baladhuri and Ibn Khaldun both claim that Mus‘ab b. al-Zubayr, whose silver drachms are well-known today, also issued gold dinars. But if such coins ever were struck, none are known to have survived. Album correctly points out that little Sasanian gold coinage was produced after the reign of Peroz (AD457-484), except for a few small-scale issues made for presentation purposes. It was the silver drachms which formed the backbone of the Sasanian monetary economy, and which the Muslims allowed mint-cities to continue striking. There was no economic need or precedent for an Arab-Sasanian gold coinage, and with the abolition of the Sasanian court there was now no ceremonial reason either. The Umayyad capital was established far away at Damascus, and it was the local Byzantine solidi which would provide the prototypes for the first Islamic gold coins struck there. The introduction of a standardized and reformed Islamic precious metal coinage in 77/78h made the Arab-Sasanian drachm obsolete both in design and metrology. Over the next few years production gradually ceased, so that by 84/85h silver coins of Arab-Sasanian type were only being issued on the fringes of the Islamic world where local custom and preference still made this necessary. The best-known examples are Tabaristan, where the well-known series of silver hemidrachms bearing the names of local governors lasted until circa 200h, and Sistan, where base silver drachms seem to have survived for a couple of decades longer. Less well known are the Ghuzz Turks of Syr Darya, who struck a series of distinctive silver drachms during the opening years of the 3rd century (lots 8-10). The style, fabric and calligraphy of the present dinar, however, have very little in common with the neatly-engraved Tabaristan hemidrachms, and it seems more likely that it is associated either with the local coinage of Sistan or with the silver drachms of the Ghuzz. Because of the double-striking on the obverse of this dinar, the name on the obverse is very difficult to interpret. ‘Ubayd Allah b. Zuhayr would seem to fit the Kufic script, but no individual of this name appears to be attested (although Muhammad b. Zuhayr is known from the local coinage of Sistan). Another possibility might be ‘Abdallah ibn Tahir, the governor of Khurasan who served from 215-230h; this is a less satisfactory fit with the poorly-preserved legend on the coin, but would then link it with the Ghuzz issues on which his name is also found. There are other stylistic similarities between this coin and the Ghuzz drachms, not merely in the calligraphy but in the cross-hatched pattern seen on the border of this dinar, which recalls the crown or circlet seen on the ruler’s head on the silver coins. If the weight is significant, it may also be noted that this dinar is heavier than contemporary Ghuzz silver drachms - and allowing for losses through damage would appear to maintain the 7:10 ratio between the weights of dirhams and dinars elsewhere in the Islamic world. On the other hand, the reverse legend, barakat min Allah, ‘A blessing from God,’ is found on a few rare Eastern Sistan drachms, although this would seem appropriate for any presentation issue and need not imply a Sistani origin. It is not at all surprising that the gold and silver coinage of the Ghuzz should have been different in design. Discussing the Sasanian prototypes, Album wrote, ‘The gold coinage of Khusraw I, Varahran VI and especially Khusraw II and Queen Boran is...typologically utterly different from contemporary silver coinage. I would expect the same to be true of any genuine Arab-Sasanian gold coinage, were such things to exist.’ (SICA 1, p.39). Although almost certainly struck long after the main line of Arab-Sasanian coinage came to an end, this remarkable coin now proves Album’s view entirely correct. It is of the highest importance as being the only ancient gold coin of Arab-Sasanian type known to have survived to the present day.
ANTI-FATIMID REBEL, ABU YAZID MAKHLAD AL-NUKKARI (332-336h). Dinar, al-Qayrawan 333h. OBVERSE: In field: rabbuna Allah | la hukm illa lillah | la ilaha illa Allah | wahdahu la sharik lahu | al-haqq al-mubin. REVERSE: In margin: Qur’an vii, 157 (outer); ix, 33 (inner); In field: al- ‘izza lillah | Muhammad | rasul | Allah | khatam al-nabiyyin. WEIGHT: 4.17g. REFERENCE: Nicol 201. CONDITION: Good very fine and extremely rare. Of Berber ancestry, Abu Yazid Makhlad was born circa 270h and grew up in Tuzir (Byzantine Tusuros) in south-west Tunisia. He later moved to Tahirt, the capital of the local Rustamid dynasty and spiritual centre of the Ibadi movement which Abu Yazid espoused, becoming a leader of the Nukkari sect. The Rustamids were overthrown by the Fatimid partisan Abu ‘Abdallah al-Shi‘i in 296h, who passed through Tahirt on his way to meet the Fatimid imam, al-Mahdi. Abu Yazid’s antipathy towards the Fatimids was therefore based on personal experience as well as doctrinal disagreement. Returning to Tuzir after the fall of the Rustamids, it seems that AbuYazid was soon engaged in fomenting anti-Fatimid feeling. Falling foul of the authorities there, he was outlawed and left Tuzir circa 309h, intending to undertake the hajj. Finding himself pursued, however, he abandoned this plan for the time being and returned to the town of Tiqyus, where we hear of him again stirring up anti-Fatimid feeling in 316h. By 322h, when the Fatimid al-Mahdi died, Abu Yazid was leading a confederation of local tribes and attempting to form a broad coalition to oppose Fatimid rule. He even made overtures to the Umayyads of Spain, although ‘Abd al-Rahman III seems to have received them coolly. Then, having finally completed the hajj in 324-325h he returned to his home town of Tuzir but was recognised and thrown into prison. Released through the intervention of his sons, as well as a prominent Nukkari leader, he once again mobilized local tribes and launched a final assault on the Fatimids beginning in 332h. At an early stage of this campaign someone brought him a grey donkey to ride, and the image of this old man, simply dressed and riding a donkey rather than a warhorse into battle, had a powerful effect in convincing his supporters of his piety and determination – and by extensionof the justness of his cause. The first town to fall to Abu Yazid was Tebessa, followed quickly by Sabiba, Tebessa, and Duqqa. Next Baja, which resisted, was sacked and burned with the inhabitants killed or enslaved. Tunis, which surrendered and was spared the flames, was taken shortly afterwards. Raqqada, located just a few miles from Qayrawan, was abandoned by the fleeing Fatimid forces who allowed Abu Yazid to take the city largely unopposed. Qayrawan itself was the next city to fall – its governor, we are told, found himself hopelessly outnumbered and so went to Abu Yazid’s camp in a doomed attempt to negotiate, only to be captured and put to death. As the present coin recalls, the local commander surrendered the city shortly afterwards and Abu Yazid’s forces entered Qayrawan in triumph. Abu Yazid allowed his Berber troops to pillage the captured city, and when reproached by other leading citizens of Qayrawan who were trying to negotiate to save it from further damage, he reportedly dismissed their protests, remarking that even Jerusalem and Makka had been destroyed in the past. The future of the Fatimid caliphate hung in the balance as Abu Yazid marched onwards to Mahdiya and began to lay siege to it in 334h, with the caliph al-Qa’im himself inside. But the besieged city held out, and gradually Abu Yazid’s support began to dwindle as fighters who had joined him in the hope of easy plunder started to desert at the prospect of a protracted siege. Finally, al-Qa’im was able to break out and launch an assault on the rebel’s waning forces. Abu Yazid fled, leaving al-Qa’im able to recapture Tunis and Sousse. Al-Qa’im died during the siege, and the fight against Abu Yazid was immediately and vigorously continued by his successor, Isma‘il al-Mansur. Abu Yazid withdrew to Qayrawan, where the populace had initially given him a cautious welcome as their deliverer from Fatimid rule, but were now disillusioned by the brutality of his Berber troops. On his arrival, Abu Yazid found the city gates closed against him and was forced to withdraw. Later in 335h, al-Mansur granted a general amnesty to the city, capturing Abu Yazid’s wives and children whom he found there. After a series of further defeats, Abu Yazid and his remaining followers were driven into the Hodna mountains. There they made their last stand, until the Fatimid forces captured the hilltop fortress where Abu Yazid had taken refuge. It seems that the rebel himself had nearly managed to escape in the darkness, only to fall into a ravine while trying to flee. He was captured and died of his wounds four days later, probably in Muharram of 336h.
