Additional information

Multan's silver dammas occupy a peculiar position in Islamic numismatics — struck by an emirate that controlled one of the subcontinent's oldest and most strategically lucrative cities, sitting astride trade routes connecting Sind with the Punjab interior. The damma denomination itself derives from the drachm lineage, progressively reduced over centuries of local monetary adaptation. Fishman and Todd's cataloguing of the Multani series remains the essential reference, and the M73-74 types attributed to Munabbih I represent some of the more elusive attributions in that work, with die linkages still debated among specialists.
