| Additional information |
Andaraba was a mint town in the Panjshir Valley, northeast of Kabul, operating under Saffarid-era authority during the late 9th century CE. The 280s AH represent a period of fractured control across Khurasan and the eastern provinces, with local governors and strongmen issuing coinage in their own names — or in the names of their superiors — as a direct assertion of administrative reach. Sa'id b. Shu'ayb is not a figure who appears prominently in the narrative chronicles, which makes this dirham one of the few material traces of his authority.
