twood89 Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 10:37 pm This coin weighs 3.78 grams and is 31mm in diameter. The date appears to read 32?, possibly 323. I tried searching Zeno and ACS for similar dated Dirhams but cant seem to find a match. It looks like a Samanid type, but none of the ones I saw have the outer rings and the reverse type. Any help with this attribution would be much appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 02/14/2022 3:47 pm You have located the date correctly. I read it as 326: sitt wa 'ashrin wa thelath mi'at. The mint is Shiraz. It's an issue of the Buyids/ Buwayhids. The ruler 'Imad al-Dawla Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali is cited as 'Ali bin Buwayh, last line of central inscription, 2nd photo. Album 1538. According to Album, the additional marginal legends bear "auspicious formulae". https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=236190 Report this Post to the Staff
