Dirhams

After a hiatus of nearly forty years the Cordoba mint was re-established during the reign of ‘Abd al-Rahman III on the 13th of Ramadan, 316H. The coins of the first year are extremely rare, probably no more than three such coins are known.( A coin attributed to this date by Miles, his 186a, is an obvious error – see the article in al-Sikka 2001, vol 3.1, » A century old numismatic myth»).

The correct techniques of striking coins must have been partially lost during this four decade closure as can be evidenced by the many uneven strikes in the coinage of the first four years.

79	Dirham	(Andalus)	32(?)H	3.84gr	25mm		Caliphate	῾Abd al-Raḥmān III	Copper. This coin was probably silver plated. It would be difficult to ascertain whether or not this coin was a product of the actual mint. Many of the coins struck for nearly a decade under the mint master Sa'id ibn al Djassas are evidently of base silver. This led to public protestation and Sa'id was duly put in jail. The leniency of the punishment and the extreme brevity of his stay in jail ( quick royal pardon) would perhaps indicate that this lengthy debasement of coinage was probably due to state policy and not just Sa'id's greed.

139	Dirham	Andalus (?)	343H	3.43gr	22mm	Vives 425 variant IA, Frochoso, pg 46.	Caliphate	῾Abd al-Raḥmān III	Vives ( pg 54) considered this coin to be North African and probably from the mint of Fas, due to its aspect and the name al-Mu'izz. Miles (pg 233), reasonably, adds that it could be a counterfeit. The coins of Fas with the name Mu'izz do not appear until the last decade of that 4th century. The date on this coin is not that clear and could also be read as 393H., while the reading of the ruler, though probable, has quite a few epigraphic errors. The coin seems to be of good silver.
