Fatimid, al-Hakim (386-411h), glass weight, pale green, double-sided, dated 409h, obv., in margin: al-imam al-hakim bi-amr Allah amir al-mu’minin; in field: wa ‘Abd al-Rahim wali ahad al-muslimin sanat tisa‘ wa arba‘ mi’at, rev., la ilaha illa Allah | Muhammad rasul Allah | ‘Ali wali Allah, 3.65g (cf Launois 44 [408h]), very fine and rare
Abbasid, al-Mu‘tamid (256-279h), dinar, without mint-name, 274h, obv., citing al-Mufawwad illa-‘llah, rev., with bakh below name of caliph, 4.26g (Bernardi 175, citing a single specimen in Berlin), some scuffs, very fine to good very fine and extremely rare. It has been suggested that these mintless dinars may be connected to contemporary issues struck by the Amirs of Crete during the 270s, which similarly lack a mint-name.
Abbasid, al-Mu‘tadid (279-289h), donative dinar with broad margins, 282h, without mint-name, obv., in three lines: amir | al-mu’- | minin, date formula around, rev., in three lines: lillah | al-Mu‘tadid | billah, 4.14g (Ilisch XXX; Bernardi 210), obverse toned and with matte surfaces in comparison with the brighter reverse, creased from 3-9 o’clock on both sides, otherwise good very fine and very rare
Ayyubid, Saladin (567-589h), dirham, mint (Hamah) off-flan, dated (5)75h, citing the caliph al-Mustadi, obverse and reverse central legends within beaded circle, 2.50g (Balog -; Album -), scratched but otherwise about very fine and extremely rare; with other Ayyubid, Mamluk, Artuqid, Zangid and Lu’lu’id coins (29), all in envelopes with identifications, fine to very fine (30) Ex Samir Shamma Collection.
Abbasid, al-Muktafi (289-295h), dinar, Makka 292h, 4.22g (Bernardi 226Ef; Qatar 1309, same dies), with pronounced die flaws on obverse, flan slightly curved, good very fine and extremely rare. Struck from the same pair of dies, both of these dinars show the pronounced die-flaw on the obverse which is also visible on the example preserved in the Qatar National Museum. The flaw is in a more advanced state on lot 47, indicating that this coin was struck slightly later in the year than lot 48, while the Qatar specimen was probably produced before either of the coins offered here. That all three coins should have been struck from just a single pair of dies is entirely in keeping with the great rarity of Abbasid dinars of Makka today. It is interesting to note that the following lot, struck one year later in 293h, is of noticeably smaller module with the marginal legends more tightly spaced than on these issues of 292h.
Samanid of Akhsikath, Asad b. Ahmad (fl. 268-270h), fals, Khasata 269h, 2.97g (Album A1477 RRR), small edge bend, good fine and very rare. ‘Khasata’ is listed by Album as a mint for copper fulus in this year only; whether this is a variant spelling of Akhsikat or a different place entirely is unclear.
Eastern Sistan, Anonymous, Khusraw II type, drachm, SK (Sijistan) 89h, bismillah :: – rabbi in obverse margin, barakat min Allah – khayr in fourth and third quadrants of reverse border, date apparently reads NAVHShTAT, 3.92g (cf Morton & Eden auction 79, 21 April 2016, lot 16), almost extremely fine and extremely rare
Buwayhid, Abu Kalijar (415-440h), dirham, al-Basra 420h, obv., single marginal legend partly pierced by four pellets-within-crescents at cardinal points, rev., with patronymic ibn Sultan al-dawla in last line of field, 3.34g, ex-mount minor edge damage and with old scratch in reverse field, otherwise very fine and extremely rare, apparently unrecorded
Abbasid, al-Radi (322-329h), donative quarter-dinar, 325h, without mint-name, obv., in three lines: amir | al-mu’- | minin, date formula around, rev., in three lines: lillah | al-Radi | billah, 0.99g (Bernardi 291; Ilisch DIII 25), has been mounted in the past with the reverse visible, hence the rim smoothed on reverse while retaining a sharper edge on obverse where removed from the mounting, fine to good fine and extremely rare
Arab-Armenian, Muhammad (b. Marwan), drachm, mint-signature AY (possibly Dabil circa 75-78h), bust of Khusraw II right, Pahlawi mhmt (‘Muhammad’) before, Arabic wafin in margin, rev., date letter to left (blundered, possibly intended for arb, ‘4’); mint-signature to right, 3.19g (Sears 9ff), very fine to good very fine and rare
