ABBASID: lead seal (9.47g), A-338Y, inscribed ma'arra / al-awal, referring to the city of Ma'arra (probably Ma'arrat Masrin, well-known Umayyad copper mint), date around, probably AH183 (partly obscured by adhesions), following the word kharâj before the date; al-awal refers to the first portion of the year's tax payment, VF-EF, RR. The seal confirms that the tax had been paid, and that the sealed substance was of the first quality. The hole for the sealing wire is clearly visible on both sides of this seal.

Estimate: 110-150 USD
