Watch List notes:

TULUNID, JAYSH (282-283h). Dinar, Misr 283h. WEIGHT: 4.11g. REFERENCES: Bernardi 214De; Grabar 70. CONDITION: Graffiti on obverse, otherwise better than very fine and very rare. After Khumarawayh was murdered by his own slaves in 282h, the Tulunid commanders and troops immediately swore allegiance to Khumarawayh's fourteen-year-old son, Abu'l-Asakir Jaysh. Jaysh's reign lasted barely nine months, which was nevertheless sufficient for him to fall out with most of his father's officials and advisers, seemingly through a combination of arrogance and incompetence. Jaysh himself was murdered in 283h and replaced by his equally ineffectual younger brother, Harun. This is the only year for which coins of Jaysh are recorded.
