Description

ABBASID, AL-RASHID (170-193h), Dirham, ‘al-Muhammadiya’ (i.e. Bajunays) 183h. Reverse:, citing Sallam and Mahbub. Weight: 2.77g. Good very fine and extremely rare, apparently unpublished. Somewhat confusingly, the epithet ‘al-Muhammadiya’ was used to denote two different mint-towns at this time: Rayy, and Bajunays (vide Bates, M.L., ‘A Second Muhammadiyya, and the four mints of the Bajunays mine,’ JONS 209, Autumn 2011, pp.14-17). Coins can be attributed to one or the other according to the governors named on the reverse. Sallam is one of the longest-serving governors known on this issue, but Mahbub seems to be previously unknown.
