Description
Samanids. 'Abd al-Malik I b. Nuh. AH 343-350 / AD 954-961. AV Dinar (23.4mm, 4.69 g, 12h). Bukhara mint. Dated AH 343 (AD 954/5). Cf. SNAT XVa, 84 (dated AH 344); Album 1460. Faint edge marks. Good VF. Rare.
This dinar omits the name of any ‘Abbasid caliph. The Samanids continued to recognise al-Mustakfi until AH 343, even though he had been deposed in AH 334 and died in AH 337. Al-Muti‘, who succeeded al-Mustakfi, seems not to have been acknowledged on the Samanid gold coinage until AH 345.
The final winners of all CNG Islamic Auction 3 lots will be determined during the live sale that will be held on 27 April 2023.
Winning bids are subject to a 22.5% buyer's fee for bids placed on this website and 25% for all others.
