UMAYYAD: AE fals (3.36g), al-Anbâr, ND, A-N196, citing the governor read as Musa, together with his subordinate governor Ahmad (legend mimma amara bihi amir musa 'ala yaday ahmad), with the obverse field bearing the phrase amara Allah bi'l-wafa wa'l-'adl, the mint formula around; late Umayyad or early Abbasid by style, VF. This is the third reported specimen of this mint (first in our Auction 40, Lot 203, the 2nd also in this present auction). By style and source I now believe that it was the eastern mint, not Iraqi, as previously suggested. Anbâr was located in eastern Khorasan, near Shafurqan in modern Afghanistan.
Estimate: USD 200 - 300
