Ziyarids. Bakran b. Khurshid. AH 322 / AD 935. AV Dinar (22.6mm, 3.49 g, 2h). Mah al-Kufa mint. Dated AH 322 (AD 933/4). Ruler cited as Bakran in fourth line of obverse field / Letter nun below reverse field. Cf. Morton & Eden auction 79 (21 April 2016), lot 79 (same obverse die); cf. Bernardi type 297 (from al-Karaj, dated AH 323 only); Album 1530K. Edge clip at 5h on obverse. VF. Excessively rare.

The name of Bakran is squashed into the bottom of the obverse field, and appears to have been added after the die was prepared. Bakran b. Khurshid’s full name appears on extremely rare dinars struck at al-Karaj in AH 323 (Bernardi 297Jf)
