UMAYYAD, TEMP. HISHAM (105-125h)
Dirham, al-Andalus 128h
OBVERSE: In border: annulets apparently oo oo oo oo
In field: central pellet between wa – hdahu in second line
REVERSE: In border: annulets unclear (probably oo oo oo oo)
WEIGHT: 2.56g
CONDITION: Clipped, graffiti in reverse field, good fine and of the highest rarity, apparently unpublished
NOTE: An unrecorded date for the mint of al-Andalus. Klat lists no dirhams from the mint between 125h and 129h, noting that reported examples from 126h and 127h are considered dubious (Klat p.291). Hitherto, no dirham at all seems to have been reported for the year 128h.
Estimate: £10000 - 15000
