This is an early example of an Early Post-Reform silver Dirham (Dinar) issued by 'Abd al-Malik Bin Marwan (65-86 AH or 685 -705 AD). I believe this example is from 79 - 80 AH so it's from just a few years after the typical Post-Reform types were first struck in 77AH. All are carefully minted but ruler names are not part of the legend. However, the date is always present so the ruler can be determined from the date in most cases. This is Album Checklist # 126; 2.83 g & 22 mm.
Obverse center legend:
لا اله الا
الله وحده
لا شرك له
There is no Diety except |
(the one) God alone |
He has no equal
Obverse margin Legend (date here is an example):
بسم الله ضرب هذا الدرهم بواسط في سنة ثلث و تسعين
In the name of God. This Dirham was struck in Wasit in the year three and ninety
Reverse center legend:
الله احد الله
الصمد لم يلد و
لم يولد و لم يكن
له كفوا احد
God is One God |
The eternal and indivisible, who has not begotten, and |
has not been begotten and never is there |
His equal
Reverse margin legend:
محمد رسول الله ارسله بالهدى و دين الحق ليظهره على الدين كله ولو كره المشركون
Muhammad is the messenger of God. He sent him with guidance and the true religion to reveal it to all religions even if the polytheists abhor it.
