Description
Umayyad Caliphate. temp. ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan. AH 65-86 / AD 685-705. ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Muhammad (Ibn al-Ash‘ath). AH 80-84 / AD 700-3. AR Drachm (30.3mm, 4.11g, 9h). KRMAN-HPYC (Khabis) mint. Dated AH 83 / AD 702/3. Obverse margin: - / bismillah / RWBAK RYWY (?) / -Malek 726. Cleaned. EF. Rare.
The Pahlawi phrase in the third quadrant of the obverse margin is not fully understood. The first word is evidently ravag, ‘current’; it has been suggested that the second may be a toponym, but it is difficult to reconcile this with the mint-name on the reverse and other explanations are possible.
The final winners of all CNG Islamic Auction 1 lots will be determined at the live online sale that will be held on 25 May 2022, beginning at 10:00 AM ET.
Winning bids are subject to a 20% buyer's fee for bids placed on this website and 22.50% for all others.
