Caliphate. AH 401. Hisham II (2nd reign). Al Andalus. Dirhem. (Missing in all known catalogs). No name on either side. Mint and date very clear, but without bismillah: the formula begins with "duriba". On the reverse, the 2nd and 3rd lines switched. Possibly minted by an unknown Taifa during the Cordoba revolution.

Caliphate. AH 404. Sulayman (2nd reign). Al Andalus. Dinar. (V. 801) (Prieto 33). Obv.: @Ån. Rev.: @?cv! ®? / @{8z. This coin, although engraved in the name of Sulayman, was probably not minted directly under his authority but by one of the unknown figures whose name appears on the IA. As such, they should be considered, as Prieto does, more Taifa coins than Caliphate coins. We only know of one other dinar and two dirhems, the four correspond to different dies with floral ornaments of very different styles.. Extremely rare. 3,78 g. MBC.
Aureo & Calicó, S.L. - Auction 427 . 199
Caliphate. AH 401. Sulayman (2nd reign). Al Andalus. Dirhem. (V. 713) (Fro. 132 sim). Obv.: @{8z. Rev.: @?cv! ®?. The poor minting and horrible calligraphy of Sulayman's coins for AH 401 is probably due to the sudden loss of his mint with the looting and destruction of Medina Azahara by his own disgruntled troops the previous year. Perhaps because of this, Prieto (no. 49) assumes several Sulayman pieces of this period to be fake, surprisingly, he catalogs them as "false dinar", an obvious error. Extremely rare. 3,54 g. MBC+.

Rev.: @?cv! ®? / @{8z.For this piece and the following one, the references of Vives and Prieto, as they appear in the Tonegawa Collection, seem to us to be erroneous: there is the type with the name of ibn Khalaf on obverse iw; }&, but this is not the one that appears on the coin presented here. We believe that only Medina (last line on page 147) mentions this unknown coin. ?D? }&! (?). Very rare. 2,91 g. MBC+.

Caliphate. AH 398. In the name of Muhammad al-Mahdi. Al Andalus. Dirhem of low silver content. Forgery probably after the Cordoba AH 399 revolution. Apart from a barbarian epigraphy, the date is impossible, since this ruler did not take power until the following year. (see Prieto 44). Rare. 2,92 g. MBC.
