Abbasid Caliphate. Madinat al-Salam. Al-Mahdi AH 166.
Fals AE
20 mm, 2,27 g
Legend in three lines and in margin / Legend in three lines and in margin.
good very fine
A-307,1. (S).
According to Album, the fals, which dated 166, was likely produced for several years with frozen date, but not for long, given its scarcity and stylistic uniformity. It seems strange that the principal mint for gold and silver never resumed fals production for more than 450 years!
From the Tareq Hani collection.
