Abbasid 4th period, al-Nasir li-din Allah (575-622h), dinar, Madinat al-Salam 577h, wt. 4.45gms., extremely fine, very rare. This remarkable coin was issued in the third year of al-Nasir's long reign. It is in superb condition, struck on a thicker flan than was usual at this time, so that the legends are clearly legible without any signs of strike through. (£1250 - 1500)
