Watch List notes:

Arab-Byzantine, 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan, fals, unread mint, standing caliph, rev., modified cross-on-steps with wafin to left and mint-name to right, 2.85g (Walker p.41, T.2, same obverse die), almost very fine and rare. Walker suggested that the mint-name, which is clearly written but hard to interpret, may be a blundered version of Lataqiya (Laodicea). Interestingly, the present coin is struck from a different reverse die from the example Walker published, indicating that this spelling of the mint was clearly intentional. (£200-300)
