ABBASID, AL-MU'TAMID (256-279h)
Dinar, al-Ahwaz 262h
OBVERSE: In field: la ilaha illa | Allah wahdahu | la sharik lahu | al-Muwaffaq billah
WEIGHT: 3.93g
REFERENCE: Bernardi 177Nd (citing a single example)
CONDITION: Almost very fine and an exceedingly rare date
NOTE: The mint-name appears to have been re-engraved on the die. Enough of the undertype remains to show that it included a long 'box' letter, although the original mint-name is difficult to decipher with certainty.
Estimate: £1500 - 2000
