1 Dirham - Sharaf al-Dawla Abul Fawaris Suq Al-ahwaz mint

Sharaf al-Dawla's reign lasted only from 983 to 989, cut short by his death at roughly thirty years old — a brevity that makes issues from his tenure genuinely scarce across all mints. Suq al-Ahwaz, situated on the Karun River in Khuzestan, was a commercially active entrepôt whose mint output reflected trade rather than political ceremony.

The Buyid amirate operated under Abbasid nominal suzerainty while exercising real power, a tension visible in the coinage itself — the caliph's name retained by administrative convention, Buyid authority asserted beneath it.
