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) (£400-600)
