A Selection of Coins from the Holy Land
Umayyad Caliphate, Bronze coinage. Æ Fals (22.5mm, 4.02 g, 7h). Anbulus mint. Undated. SNAT IVa, 254 (as Baniyas, same reverse die); Miles,
RIC 98; Album A170. Attractive green patina. Good Fine. Extremely rare.
While this mint-name has also been read as Baniyas, which is also a location within Palestine, the penultimate letter is connected to the final ‘s’ and is therefore better interpreted as the ‘l’ of Anbulus.
