Watch List notes:

UMAYYAD: AE fals (2.10g), NM, ND, A-205S, Qur'an sura 112 fills the obverse, the reverse cites the amir 'Amara (b. Huzaym), who governed Marw briefly during the first 2 months of AH116, and both style and his name strongly persuades that this mintless fals was struck at Marw, about 25% flat strike, unpublished, VG, RRR. During his illness at the end of AH115, the governor of Khorasan, Junayd b. 'Abd al-Rahman (cited on fulus of Marw 112 & Balkh 114) appointed 'Amara b.Huzaym as his successor. Junayd died in Muharram 116, but 'Asim b. 'Abd Allah was named governor of Khorasan by the caliph Hisham. 'Asim detested Junayd and his underlings, so when he arrived at Marw in Safar 116 (or a few weeks later) he arrested 'Amara and may well have had him executed. Thus this type must have produced during a very short period of no more than two months at the start of AH116.
