Ex Diego Suárez Hoard - from a group of gold coins mounted into a gold belt which was found by divers off Diego Suárez (Antsiranana), Madagascar circa 1955-1965.
The Diego Suarez hoard contained 14 specimens of this type, nearly all in similarly good condition. Steven Album noted (Auction 36, 2020) that "given the similarity to the Madagascar find pieces derived from the type of the Fatimid base (as these are as well, via the Ma'nid type based thereon), these should also be of Madagascar origin in the period ca. 1025-1050".
