Uncertain 'Alid ruler, fractional dinar, Qal'at 611h?, obv., in field: la ilaha illa Allah | Muhammad rasul Allah | 'Ali wali Allah | al-malik Abu 'Ali, rev, Qur'an 112:1 (in five lines), 1.90g, two large piercings, fine and excessively rare, apparently unpublished. The mint-name and indeed the date on this coin are not certain. Qal'at would simply mean 'the fortress', and although 611h appears to be the best reading for the date this is coarsely engraved. There are similarities with the fractional gold issued by the Zaydi Imams of Hawsam, which also have 'Alid legends and the entirety of Qur'an 112:1 (including the prefatory Qull huwa).
(400-600 GBP)
