Watch List notes:

ABBASID, AL-MU'TAMID (256-279h). Dinar, al-Ahwaz 274h. OBVERSE: In field: la ilaha illa | Allah wahdahu | la sharik lahu | al-nasir li-din Allah | al-Muwaffaq billah. REVERSE: In field: lillah | Muhammad | rasul | Allah | al-Mu 'tamid 'ala'-llah | Ahmad bin al-Muwaffaq billah | letter teh. WEIGHT: 4.35. REFERENCE: Bernardi 184Nd. CONDITION: Good very fine and very rare. In the reverse field, the names of the caliph and Ahmad b. al-Muwaffaq are marked with diacritical points on three letters: two dots above the 't' of Mu'tamid, a single dot below the the b of bin, and a single dot slightly to the right of the f of Muwaffaq. The isolated letter below, which Bernardi read as b, also carries two dots above the 'tooth' and so must be teh. It is extremely rare to find diacritical points on coin legends at this period.
