Arab-Byzantine. Dimashq (Damascus). Standing Caliph AH 692-697. Standing imperial figure type
Fals AE
20 mm, 4,26 g
Byzantine style standing emperor, holding long cross and globus cruciger; in left field, bird on T-shaped standard; in right field, Λ Є Ο/ Large M; starogram above; across field, A N O X 8 II; below, crescent above -; ΔAM in exergue.
very fine
Walker 7; SICA 560; DOC 46-51.
Although, normally attributed to Damascus based on the letters ΔΑΜ in the exergue, the bird perched atop the T-shaped standard also appears on issues of Tiberias (cf. SNAT 302). Thus it is possible that these ΔΑΜ issues with bird are from Tiberias, merely copying the fulus from the principal Umayyad mint at Damascus.
From the Tareq Hani collection.
