Watch List notes:

ABBASID, AL-MU'TADID (279-289h) Dinar, al-Rafiqa 289h Obverse field: small pellets above and below Weight: 2.44g Reference: cf Bernardi 211Hn (date not listed). Pinmarks in field and some small weak areas in margins, generally about very fine and excessively rare, apparently unpublished. Dinars of this mint and date are known for al-Muktafi, who became caliph later in 289h, but this appears to be the first specimen issued in the name of al-Mu'tadid to be published.
