Sind Region, Sindi Sultanate. Qanhari. Ca. A.D. 870-1030. AR 1/4 dirham (11 mm, .48 g). Billah yathiqu Isa' wa bihi yantasir (In God trusts Jesus and through him Victory.) / Illah Muhammed rasul Allah al Amir Isa,(In God Mohamed is the messenger of Allah, Jesus). AS 24. EF. Very Rare. Superb.
The rarest of all Sindi silver dirhams The coins of the Indian Sultanate, Rajgor -. "Very rare, the rarest of all Sindi silver qanhari dirhams according to "the coins of the Indian Sultanates". "Isa" is the arabic form of the name "Jesus". Sind was the first part of India to come under Muslim rule. The earliest Amirs issued small silver coins (1/4 dirhams) - all carrying the name of the Amir, but without any dates, so they are very difficult to date exactly, especially since the Amirs of Sind are virtually unknown from other sources. These coins are generally not rare, but are difficult to find in high quality, like this coin."
