UMAYYAD: AE fals (2.77g), al-Anbâr, ND, A-N196, citing the governor tentatively read as Musa, together with his subordinate governor Ahmad (legend mimma amara bihi amir musa(?) 'ala yaday ahmad), with the obverse field bearing the phrase amara Allah bi'l-wafa wa'l-'adl, late Umayyad or early Abbasid by style, VF, RRRR. Newly discovered type for this exceedingly rare mint. An earlier style of the same mint exists, with only two examples known, both sold in our Auction 31, Lots 278 & 279. By style and source I now believe that it was the eastern mint, not Iraqi, as previously suggested. Anbâr was located in eastern Khorasan, near Shafurqan in modern Afghanistan, and not to be confused with the Anbâr in Iraq.
Estimate: 220-280 USD
