Lot 33
Abbasid, al-Mu‘tamid (256-279h), dinar, no mint-name 273h, obv., citing the caliph’s brother al-Muwaffaq billah, 3.99g (Bernardi 177 RRR), good fine and very rare. These very rare mintless dinars were struck for a brief period in the early 270s. Thei style of the epigraphy is very distinctive, and similarities have been noted with the contemporary dinars of the Arab Amirs of Crete, which apart from special donative issues are the only other gold coins of this period not to bear a mint-name.

![Bahri Mamluk, al-Ashraf Khalil (689-693h), dinar, [al-Qahira or Dimashq] al-Mahrusa 690h, 6.79g (cf Balog 142 or 148), some f](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/b9e8b6b7-aee3-4033-b4bf-a68800efc520/2ce2b6b9-3e2f-4140-e6a7-30e06463b795/468x382.jpg)
![Hamdanid, Nasir al-dawla and Sayf al-dawla (330-356h), dirham, Raqqa 332h, 2.64g (Bikhazi -; Tiesenhausen 2458 [as Abbasid]),](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/b9e8b6b7-aee3-4033-b4bf-a68800efc520/63c20a4d-7ec9-473a-a493-d17714b79a5f/468x382.jpg)
Lot 376
Anti-Hamdanid Rebellion, dirham, Antakiya 353h, obv., la ilaha illa | Allah wahdahu | la sharik lahu | al-haqq al-mubin, 2.42g (RIC 360, same dies), crude and some spelling errors in legends, about very fine and extremely rare. The date on this coin is strangely engraved, which led Miles to read it as 339h. The decade, however, is clearly khamsin, ‘fifty’, and the unit of the date is best read as thalath with a lam-alif (so Ilisch, Münzen und Medaillen auction 76, 19-20 September 1991, lot 1055 and note)
![Hamdanid Governor of Aleppo, Qarghuya (fl. 358h), dirham, Madinat [Halab] 35[8]h, rev., citing Qarghuya below, 2.30g, about f](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/b9e8b6b7-aee3-4033-b4bf-a68800efc520/b4e6b59b-89de-4a90-febc-57249c8ede66/468x382.jpg)
Lot 378
Hamdanid Governor of Aleppo, Qarghuya (fl. 358h), dirham, Madinat [Halab] 35[8]h, rev., citing Qarghuya below, 2.30g, about fine and extremely rare, apparently unpublished. In the year 358h two large rebellions took place within Sayf al-dawla’s territory, including one in Antioch under the leadership of Rashid b. ‘Abdallah al-Nasimi, who raised an army and laid siege to Aleppo. The town was defended for Sayf al-dawla by his ghilman, Qarghuya, who is named on this coin. Rashid b. ‘Abdallah was killed three months into the resulting siege, but Qarghuya was eventually defeated by the new rebel commander, Dizbar, and Aleppo taken later that year.
Lot 384
Qarmatid, Alptekin Abu Mansur al-Mu‘izzi (fl. 364-367h), dirham, Filastin 367h, obv., in fourth and fifth lines of field: al-Ta‘i lillah | al-sayyid al-ra’is, rev., in field: lillah | Muhammad | rasul | Allah | al-sayyid Ja‘far al-Fadl | Abu Mansur al-Mu‘izzi, 2.50g (cf Vardanyan 32), fine and excessively rare, apparently an unrecorded variety for this very rare issue
Lot 40
Abbasid, al-Mustarshid (512-529h), dinar, Isfahan 512h, obv., unread word above; name of caliph below, rev., in field: Qur‘an 48: 1-3, ‘We have given you a great victory, that God may cover up your shortcomings, past and future, and that he may complete his favour on you and may guide you on the straight path, and help you with everlasting help,’ around which, starting at 3 o’clock: ‘Conclude – Lord, you have blessed – with benevolence – alone,’ 3.21g (see Younis, M., ‘Seljuq Dinars of Isfahan 512/1118, Dating for the Military Confrontation between Sanjar and Mahmud’ in Rasmir: Oriental Numismatics, Proceedings of the 1st International Scientific Conference held in Odessa, Ukraine, 29-31 July 2011, pp.137-142; cf Morton & Eden auction 54, 23 April 2012, lot 95), fine to good fine and extremely rare. This remarkable coin with its highly distinctive religious verses was struck in a year of considerable political change. The previous caliph, al-Mustazhir, died earlier in this year, while there was war among the Seljuqs between Sultan Mahmud and Sanjar, with the latter finally prevailing in 513h. Presumably, while the outcome of the fighting was in doubt, it was felt safest to strike coins acknowledging neither.
![‡Almoravid Taifas, anonymous (c.541-546h), dinar, [5]44h, without mint-name, 3.67g (Vives 2001 var.; Album 405; cf Morton & E](https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/b9e8b6b7-aee3-4033-b4bf-a68800efc520/b889ca9f-77ed-407a-d421-955720717f6b/468x382.jpg)
Lot 420

Nasr (331-341h), dinar, al-Muhammadiya 331h, with broad margins on both sides each containing four annulets at cardinal points, obv., in field, to left: Nasr min lillah, rev., citing the caliph al-Muttaqi, 3.67g (ICA 17, lot 539; cf Miles 171B; cf Bernardi 332Mh), toned, centres weak, almost very fine for issue and rare
Lot 43
Tulunid, Khumarawayh b. Ahmad (270-282h), dinar, Antakiya 279h, obv., citing al-Mufawwad ila-’llah, rev., citing the caliph al-Mu‘tamid ‘ala-’llah and Khumarawayh b. Ahmad, 4.20g (cf Bernardi 193Ga, this date not listed), struck from rusty dies but good fine to very fine, extremely rare and apparently an unpublished date
