W ajihides d’Oman. Yusuf b. Wajih, AH 314-332. Dirham AH 327, Uman (Oman). Inscription sur cinq lignes, entourée d’une légende sur deux cercles concentriques / Inscription sur cinq lignes dans un cercle. 2,47g. Album 1161.
Très beau.
Intéressante monnaie portant le nom du gouverneur abbasside Yusuf bin Wajih associé à celui de son fils Muhammad. L’atelier d’Oman était probablement situé dans le fameux port de Sohar. Celui-ci accueillait des bateaux en provenance d’Inde, d’Irak, et du Golfe. Les gouverneurs d’Oman reconnurent toujours les califes abbassides comme suzerains.
This is a rare example of a «father and son» conjoint coinage. Between 314 and 325 h. coins were struck only in the name of the Abbasid governor Yusuf bin Wajih, and from 326 until 332 the name of his son Muhammad was added to the legends. The Omani mint was probably located in the famous port of Sohar on the Batinah coast. This was the departure and arrival point for trade between India, Iraq and the Gulf. The governors of Oman always recognised the Abbasid caliph as their overlord.
