'Abbasid Caliphate. temp. Al-Mansur. AH 136-158 / AD 754-775. PB Seal (23.4mm, 6.32 g). Uniface, with string canal and impression of cloth on reverse. Issued at Jibal al-Fidda. Dated AH 149 (AD 766/7). ]... ‘Isa [...] Hatim maddat Jibal al-Fidda around sanat tis‘a wa / ANB (in Pahlawi) / arba‘in wa miat (‘... ‘Isa...Hatim, for the raw materials from the Silver Mountain in the year nine and forty and one hundred’). Near EF. Extremely rare.

The names ‘Isa and Hatim are also found on fulus issued in Tabaristan in AH 147 (cf. CNG Islamic Auction 1 (25 May 2022), lot 100). The Pahlawi ANB in the centre is probably an abbreviation for the provincial name Anbir, where Jibal al-Fidda was located.
