Umayyad. temp. Abd al-Malik (AH 65-86 / AD 685-705) gold Dinar AH 78 (AD 697/8) AU50 ANACS, No mint (likely Damascus), A-125, Bernardi-42. Likely the earliest dinar within the reach of most collectors of the series, the extremely rare Year 77 first-year post-reform issue a distant fantasy that rarely appears on the market. Classically neat and tidy in the layout of its refined, curvilinear calligraphy, a few light traces of die rust observable, and a lovely golden luster throughout.
