| Beschrijving voorzijde | Entirely epigraphic design in the Kufic script tradition, with multiple lines of Arabic religious and titular legend filling the central field. The inscription is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, bearing the names and honorific titles of the ruling Hamdanid amir. The script is bold and angular in the early Abbasid-influenced style, with individual letter forms clearly defined despite the irregular flan. The coin shows typical billon patination with areas of dark oxidation across the surface. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The joint-name coinage of Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali II and Abu'l-Ma'ali Sharif II falls within the terminal decades of Hamdanid rule in Aleppo, a period when the dynasty had been effectively reduced to a vassal buffer between Fatimid Egypt and Byzantine expansion. By 1002 the Hamdanids held Aleppo in name more than in practice, and the appearance of two names on a dirham likely reflects the fractured internal succession disputes that characterized the dynasty's final chapter rather than any stable co-rule.
Billon coinage from this mint and period is poorly documented in major collections, making die linkage studies difficult.
