ISLAMIC, 'Abbasid Caliphate. Uncertain period, temp. al-Saffah to al-Amin. AH 132-199 = AD 749-813. Dinar (Gold, 7 mm, 0.89 g), uncertain mint. Fragment of the Kalima. Rev. Blank. Heavilly clipped, leaving only the Kalima partially intact and with some light scratches, otherwise, about very fine.



This numismatically interesting example of a dinar has been heavily clipped into an octagonal shape, reducing its weight to less than a quarter of its original weight. Furthermore, the legend on the reverse has been erased.
