Numismatic Auction #20

ABBASID: Uncertain, 8th-9th century, Glass weight (4.22g), A-338U, clear bism Allah in top line, the rest blundered, probably abbreviated 'abd Allah or something similar in the 2nd line, and what is probably intended for mithqal / waf plus at least one other word in the 3rd and 4th lines, green transparent, EF. Contemporary imitation, but of the correct weight for the dinar, i.e., one mithqal, perhaps a locally cast replacement weight. Photograph taken at an angle for clarity of inscription.
