Pre-reform issues, Arab-Hephthalite. AR Drachm (32.6mm, 3.28 g, 3h). Hepthalite imitation of a drachm of ‘Abdallah b. Khazim. MRW (Marw) mint. Date unclear. Two countermarks in obverse margin / Uncertain legend in third quarter of reverse margin. cf. Album 19; cf. ICV 16. VF, reverse double-struck, some minor hornsilver. Rare.

The low weight and the absence of bism Allah on the obverse both suggest that this is a Hephthalite imitation rather than an official issue of ‘Abdallah b. Khazim
