Watch List notes:

Abbasid, al-Muti' (334-363h), dirham, Madinat Atakiya (sic, for Antakiya) 354h, of standard Abbasid type without additional legends or name of governor, 2.54g (cf RIC 359; Album 265), some double-striking, otherwise about very fine and rare. This purely Abbasid issue was struck during a brief period when Antioch rebelled against the ruling Hamdanids. The unit of the date is peculiarly engraved but '4' seems the most plausible reading. Ex Samir Shamma Collection.
