FATIMID, AL-ZAHIR (411-427h). Dinar, al-Mansuriya 417h. OBVERSE: In field: mint letter sin above two-line inscription. REFERENCE: cf Nicol 1549. CONDITION: Very fine and extremely rare. Nicol cites a single specimen of this mint and date, not fully described. Single letters, apparently serving as mint-marks, are regularly encountered on dinars struck at al-Mansuriya during this period, and the letter sin is also found on coins struck in the following year (Nicol 1550, dated 418h).
