MADAGASCAR: Anonymous, ca. 1020-1050, AV dinar (3.29g), "Madinat 'Adan", AH"406", A-A1192, derived from the Ma'nid dinar of 'Adan, AH406 (as is clear on the obverse of this type), formerly regarded as Ziyadid, in the name of the Ziyadid ruler al-Muzzafar b. 'Ali, mount removed (as on all known examples), bold VF to EF, RR, ex Jim Farr Collection. Ex Diego Suárez hoard. The hoard contained 14 examples of this type from the same dies (items #154414-154427), nearly all in EF condition, suggesting that they were relatively new when the belt was formed. Given the similarity to the Madagascar find pieces derived from the type of the Fatimid base (as these are as well, via the Ma'nid type based thereon), these should also be of Madagascar origin in the period ca. 1025-1050.

Estimate: 300-400 USD
