Umayyad Caliphate. Abd al-Malik. 26.4 mm, 2.59 g, 12 h). Bilingual legend. MRW in Pahlawi. Marw mint, AH 80. MRW in Pahlawi, three pellets, below shahada / Klat 582.b. EF. Very Rare.
A very early example of the post-reform dirham and rare with mint name in Pahlawi. The roundness of the Kufic script is a stylistic testament of, perhaps, the engraver's transition from Pahlawi to Kufic and sharply contrasts from the angular engravings from Dimashq of the same period. A beautiful example of a very rare early dirham
