1 Dirham - al-Harith b. Asad al-Khuttal

Khuttal occupied a narrow corridor of territory in what is now the Tajik-Afghan borderlands, functioning as a semi-autonomous emirate under loose Samanid suzerainty during the late ninth and early tenth centuries. Al-Harith b. Asad's coinage is exceptionally rare; the region's political fragility and limited minting infrastructure meant production runs were small and geographically contained. Most surviving examples reached museum collections through nineteenth-century Russian archaeological expeditions into Transoxiana.
