Beschrijving voorzijde Crudely struck irregular flan bearing multiple lines of Arabic script arranged horizontally across the field, characteristic of the Qanhari Sindhi coinage tradition. The legends, though worn and partially illegible due to the small module and hammered technique, contain pious formulae and dynastic titulature associated with the ruler Sayf al-Din 'Umayd. The surface exhibits natural patination with areas of green corrosion typical of heavily circulated medieval Islamic silver. The script is executed in an archaic, regional Kufic style consistent with Sindhi workshop production of the eleventh century.

Aanvullende informatie

The Qanhari script dirham series from Sind occupies an awkward transitional moment in the region's monetary history — issued under rulers who nominally acknowledged Ghaznavid suzerainty after Mahmud's campaigns into the subcontract, yet maintained distinctly local epigraphic traditions rather than adopting the standardized Samanid-derived formats their overlords preferred. Sayf al-Din 'Umayd's issues are among the later examples of this Qanhari tradition, produced as the script itself was already falling out of administrative use.
