al-Ahwaz - 262 AH

ABBASID, AL-MU‘TAMID (256-279h) Dinar, al-Ahwaz 262h OBVERSE: In field: la ilaha illa | Allah wahdahu | la sharik lahu | al-Muwaffaq billah WEIGHT: 3.93g REFERENCE: Bernardi 177Nd (citing a single example) CONDITION: Almost very fine and an exceedingly rare date ESTIMATE: £1,500-2,000 NOTE: The mint-name appears to have been re-engraved on the die. Enough of the undertype remains to show that it included a long ‘box’ letter, although the original mint-name is difficult to decipher with certainty
