ISLAMIC KINGDOMS. Abbasid Caliphate. Dinar, AH 255 (868/69). al-Ahwaz Mint. Al-Muhtadi. NGC AU-55.

A-237 (RRR). Weight: 4.51 gms. An EXTREMELY RARE issue of Al-Muhtadi, as evidenced by being the finest of only two examples of a Dinar of Al-Muhtadi being encapsulated by NGC. There is some strike weakness at the peripheries as is typical, though this is actually quite a bit lesser than normally encountered for this issuer. Al-Ahwaz is even less common than other mints for this ruler, with us being able to find only three other examples trading in the past several decades. As perhaps the nicest example one could hope to find of this ruler and mint combination, we are assured that there will be many excited bidders for this remarkable specimen.

Estimate: $1000.00 - $1500.00
