| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription arranged in horizontal registers within a linear border, presenting the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada) in the characteristic angular script of early Abbasid coinage. The legend is distributed across three or four lines occupying the majority of the flan, with additional marginal Arabic lettering partially visible around the periphery. The die-struck characters display the bold, monumental Kufic style typical of mid-8th century caliphal copper issues. The irregular flan exhibits characteristic hammered fabric with uneven edges and surface patination consistent with ancient copper coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ismail ibn Ali was a cousin of the first Abbasid caliph, al-Saffah, and served as governor of a key eastern province during the dynasty's foundational decade — the years immediately following the Abbasid revolution of 750, which ended nearly a century of Umayyad rule. Copper fals of this period were locally administered issues, with governors exercising considerable autonomy over provincial copper coinage while gold and silver remained more tightly controlled from the center.
Album 338 covers a transitional moment before Abbasid monetary administration had fully consolidated its regional structures.
