| Beschrijving voorzijde | Heavily stylized Arabic legends arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal line, occupying the central field of this small irregularly shaped flan. The script, characteristic of the debased Qanhari damma series, displays highly abstracted letterforms with pronounced triangular and circular elements, a hallmark of the local Sindhi hammered coinage tradition. The legends, though degraded in execution, retain the essential religious and titular formulae associated with the ruler Abu'l-Qasim. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with the crude hammered fabric typical of this series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Abu'l-Qasim ruled Mansura during the slow fragmentation of Arab authority in Sind, a region that had been under intermittent Islamic governance since Muhammad bin Qasim's conquest in 711. By the eleventh century, the Sindhi amirs were issuing coins almost entirely disconnected from Abbasid monetary norms — the damma itself is a local adaptation, the name derived from the Arabic daniq, reduced in weight and scope to serve purely regional exchange. At 0.37g, this piece represents the terminal end of that devolution.
