Description
Umayyads of Spain. Hisham II b. al-Hakam. First reign, AH 366-399 / AD 976-1009. AV Dinar (19.9mm, 3.87 g, 7h). Posthumous issue. Without mint-name (struck at Sijilmasa). Dated AH ‘5’. Wazin below obverse field / With Hisham’s title al-Mu‘ayyad billah in third line of field. Album 353S; cf Zeno 244180. Edge shaved, some deposit, small patches of gold solder both sides. VF. Rare.

It has been suggested that the word Wazin on the obverse might be a blundered version of Wanudin. Wanudin was the name of a Khazrunid ruler of Sijilmasa who died circa AH 440 / AD 1048.
