| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a plain inner circle, conveying the Islamic profession of faith (shahada) and the name of the Abbasid caliph as suzerain. A secondary marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central inscription, separated by a plain linear border. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edge, consistent with hand-hammered production. The legends are boldly struck in high relief, characteristic of 4th-century AH Hamdanid silver coinage. The outer marginal band contains the Quranic mint and date formula. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Abu Taghlib inherited control of the Hamdanid territories in al-Jazira in 967 following his father Nasir al-Dawla's prolonged conflict with his own son — a dynastic civil war that had effectively paralyzed the northern Jazira mints for years. A coin struck at Nisibin in 963 predates that succession crisis and falls within the period when Abu Taghlib held regional authority under his father's nominal rule, using his laqab 'Uddat al-Dawla before assuming full governance.
Nisibin, a former Roman frontier city on the Tigris headwaters route, retained commercial importance as a crossing point between Hamdanid and Byzantine-contested territory throughout the 960s.
