very fine

This unpublished coin appears to be the only known occurrence of the mint-name 'Jund Qinnasrin' in the coinage record.

Of the highest rarity!!! The finest of only a few handful examples known. Jund Qinnasrin was one of five sub-provinces of Syria under the Abbasid Caliphate, then the center of its own jund (military district), called Jund Qinnasrin, within the greater administrative region of Islamic Syria. They also, utilized Qinnasrin (Chalkis) as main and important headquarters for the army. Cf. A similar example see Morton Eden Auction #85, lot #254 graded about VF. From the Tareq Hani collection.
