Description
Pre-reform issues, Arab-Sasanian. temp. Qatari b. al-Fuja'a. AH 69-79 / AD 688-698. AR Drachm (30.1mm, 3.96 g, 3h). Anonymous Kharijite issue. ART (Ardashir Khurra) mint. Dated AH 75. Before bust, in place of governor’s name: LWYTW DATWBR / BLA YYZTW (’There is no justice except from God’) / Obverse margin: – / bismillah / la hukm illa lillah / –. Malek, Arab-Sasanian 92; SICA 1, pp. 30-31; Album 34. VF. Very rare.

Instead of a personal name, this issue carries a Middle Persian translation of the Arabic slogan in the obverse margin. It has been suggested that this short-lived issue was produced by the adherents of Qatari b, al-Fuja‘a before he added his own name to the coinage later in this year.
