Watch List notes:

QARAKHANID, NASR B. 'ALI (c. 383-403h). Obverse die for a dirham of Uzkand 400h. OBVERSE: Incuse legends as Kochnev 212DIMENSIONS: 35 mm diameter; 43mm long. CONDITION: Modern test-mark (confirming metal as brass or bronze), otherwise very fine and extremely rare. Surviving mediaval Islamic coin dies are excessively rare, and the high quality of the calligraphy suggests that this is an official die rather than one made by a contemporary counterfeiter.
