SAMANID: Isma'il I, 892-907, AR dirham (3.08g), Samarqand, AH279 (sic), A-1443, ruler cited without his patronymic, bold VF, R. Normally, Isma'il's name was not included on silver or gold coins until AH281. This piece is either the result of using an obsolete obverse die dated 279 (likely) or is a contemporary imitation (unlikely).
Estimate: 100-150 USD
