| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse presents four horizontal lines of Arabic Kufic legend filling the central field, surrounded by two concentric circles with a circular marginal legend running between them; the marginal inscription is noted as partially illegible. The central field bears the first verses of Surah Al-Ikhlas (112) followed by the Risala formula attesting to the prophethood of Muhammad. The epigraphic arrangement is strictly aniconographic, consistent with the reformed Umayyad monetary standard established in AH 77 (696/697 CE). The concentric double-circle border with interstitial legend space is a hallmark feature of Umayyad silver coinage from the Wasit mint. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Wasit was founded in 702 AD by Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, the Umayyad governor of Iraq, specifically to serve as a garrison city and administrative hub between Kufa and Basra — the mint there was essentially built into the city's founding logic. The anonymous attribution reflects the Umayyad reform coinage initiated under Abd al-Malik, which deliberately stripped coins of figural imagery and replaced it with Quranic inscriptions, a radical departure from the Sasanian prototypes these dirhams were reforming away from.
The XRF results here are notably clean for a provincial issue — the lead content at just over 1% is consistent with ore-source contamination rather than deliberate alloy adjustment.
