Hârûn ar-Rashîd and his governor of the Yaman, al-Ghitrîf ibn 'Atâ, 170-174 H./786-790 AD. San'âni dirham 172 H., San'â. SICA X 209; Lowick 532; Peli 2.3. 1.26 g.; Broad flan with minimal clipping Very fine
The San'ânî dihams are normally clipped by a straight cut. This was obviously done in the mint before bringing the coins into circulation as the weights of those coins, which are clipped in this way, are in the same weight range as the rare unclipped coins.
