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+.
