| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic religious inscription arranged in horizontal registers, enclosed within a partial inner circle or arch motif. The legend is executed in an angular, early Kufic script characteristic of Sindhi Qandhari dirhams of the 10th century. The inscription reads the Shahada and the name of the ruler Muhammad, distributed across four or five lines. The flat, irregularly shaped flan exhibits typical characteristics of hammered provincial Islamic coinage, with weak strike areas at the periphery. No decorative border or marginal legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "damma" designation refers to the fractional silver coinage of Sind, a denomination shaped by the region's persistent use of pre-Islamic weight standards long after Arab governors took control following Muhammad ibn Qasim's conquest in 711. By the tenth century, Sind operated as a semi-autonomous emirate increasingly detached from Abbasid authority, and its coinage reflects that isolation — local in weight, hybrid in style, answering to no central mint administration.
Muhammad I ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ruled the Habbarid dynasty during a period of acute fragmentation across the subcontinent's northwestern frontier.
