Islamic Dynasties
Umayyad of Spain. al-Hakam II (AH 350-366 / AD 961-976) gold Dinar AH 361 (AD 971/972) MS62 NGC, Madinat al-Zahra mint, A-351 (R), Vives-361, Miles-254. 4.14gm. A piece which exhibits marked clarity in the legends for the type, with striking weakness kept to an overall minimum and that which does exist causing little difficulty in reading the legends. We have been able to locate few examples of this date becoming available in recent years, and would note that Miles does not record a subvariety with star-like ornaments above the central legends on the obverse and reverse alike.
