Zaydi Imams of the Yaman
an-Nâsir li-dîni llâh Ahmad ibn Yahyâ, 301-320 H./913-932 AD Sudaysî dirham no date, "al-Jatha". 0.34 g.; Rare Very clear mint name, very fine Hole
Stephen Album had earlier on suggested the reading al-Jatha for this distinct mint. However that was a place in the Tihâma between al-Kadrâ' and al-Mahjam, unlikely to have been controlled by Zaydis and Isma'ilis. Perhaps al-Janna was a temporary designation for a place which is known in the literary source under a different name.
