Beschrijving voorzijde Central field bears a multi-line Kufic Arabic religious inscription arranged in horizontal registers, containing the shahada and related formulae. The inscription is enclosed within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a secondary concentric border bearing a continuous Arabic marginal legend in Kufic script. An outer dentilated or rope-pattern rim frames the entire design. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the periphery, consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage. A suspension hole is pierced near the upper edge, indicating later use as a pendant.

Aanvullende informatie

The Alids of Tabaristan and the surrounding Caspian highlands produced a succession of short-lived autonomous rulers in the ninth century who struck silver dirhams as much to assert political legitimacy as for commercial use. Al-Husayn b. Ahmad governed in a region where Alid claims to authority were perpetually contested by Abbasid governors, and coinage was one of the few durable assertions of independent rule available to him. The reference number A#H1524 places this firmly within Album's classification of post-Abbasid transitional Alid issues — a tight numismatic category with relatively few confirmed specimens.
