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. (£300-500)
