| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude Arabic legend arranged in multiple horizontal lines filling the field of this small, irregularly shaped hammered silver flan. The inscription, struck in a highly stylised Kufic script characteristic of early Sind Arab coinage, is divided by a horizontal bar across the centre of the die. The upper portion bears abbreviated religious or administrative formulae, while the lower field contains additional Arabic lettering. The overall execution reflects the provincial die-cutting style typical of Qanhari damma coinage of the early 9th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Qanhari dirhams of Sind occupy an awkward monetary position — too light to function as standard Abbasid-weight currency, they circulated within a regional economy that had developed its own weight conventions after the Arab conquest of Sind in 711. This piece, attributable to Hajjib ibn Salih, dates to a narrow governorship window in the late 820s, a period when central Abbasid control over distant Sind was administrative in name more than enforcement.
The 'Damma' denomination itself reflects local adaptation of Islamic monetary vocabulary to pre-existing Sindhi unit names.
