| Additional information |
'Abd Allah ibn Khazim al-Sulami governed Khurasan under the Umayyads but later broke from caliphal authority entirely, holding the province as an effectively independent warlord from around 684 until his death in 692. Coins struck in his name during that rebellious period occupy an ambiguous position — formally Arab-Sasanian in type, yet issued by a governor who had ceased to recognize Damascus. His assassination by a rival tribal coalition ended the holdout, and the Umayyads reasserted control over Khurasan shortly after.
Valentine 68 is among the scarcer attributed issues in the Arab-Sasanian sequence precisely because the issuing window was compressed by political violence rather than administrative transition.
