'Abbasid Caliphate. Al-Ma'mun. AH 199-218 / AD 813-833. AR Dirham (23.5mm, 2.49 g, 10h). Tabariya mint. Dated AH 209 (AD 824/5). Reverse: citing Sa‘id bin al-Safar above and below field. Lowick 628. Fine. Extremely rare.

This coin bears traces of an outer margin on the obverse, of which only three letters - d-w-s - are legible. On the single specime known to him, Lowick was evidently able to read a partial name, ‘Asad bin ‘Abd al-..., although this cannot be seen on the present coin. No explanation has been proposed for why the mint of Tabariya should have been active in this year.
