HUDID OF DENIA: Sayyid al-Dawla Sulayman, 1090-1099, AV dinar (3.91g), Daniya (Dénia), AH483, A-V393, clear mint & date, struck from dies intended for the billon coinage, thus inscribed with the denomination al-dirham, VF, RRR. This piece appears to be the first known gold coin of the reign of Sayyid al-Dawla Sulayman, likely struck in emergency when only the dirham dies were available, shortly before the Almoravid advance that led to the seizure of Dénia in AH485.

Estimate: 1,300-1,700 USD
