Beschrijving keerzijde Central field occupied by a multi-line Arabic Kufic inscription disposed across two registers, with the lower register exhibiting a distinct series of vertical strokes surmounted by a horizontal bar. The lettering is boldly engraved in a primitive provincial Kufic style, with individual characters rendered as thick, unrefined vertical elements. The irregular flan shows characteristic edge chipping and surface flow lines from the hammering process. No border or marginal legend is discernible. The die is crudely centred, typical of the small Qanhari damma denomination struck in early Islamic Sind.

Aanvullende informatie

Suleyman ibn Salim governed Sind as deputy to the Umayyad governor of Iraq during a turbulent transition period — his brief tenure coinciding with the final convulsions of Umayyad authority before the Abbasid revolution of 750 swept the dynasty from power entirely. These fractional silver pieces, struck at Qandahar in the far eastern reaches of Umayyad administration, represent the outermost edge of that empire's monetary reach. At 0.35g, the damma was a native Sindhi denomination adopted rather than imposed by Arab administrators.
