Umayyad Caliphate, Silver coinage. AR Dirham (23mm, 2.54 g, 11h). Revolutionary Period issue, struck by Muharib b. Musa. Istakhr mint. Dated AH 128 (AD 745/6). Obverse outer margin: bism ○ Allah ○ duriba ○ bi-Istakhr ○ sanat ○ thaman ○ wa ‘ashrin ○ wa mi’at; no circle around obverse field. Klat 83.b; cf Wurtzel 12 (variety of mint/date legend). Toned, evenly clipped. Good Fine. Very rare.

This type, which has a shortened version of the mint/date legend without the standard hadha al-dirham, is by far the rarer of the two varieties of dirham struck at Istakhr in this year and was unknown to Wurtzel.
