Buwayhids (Buyids). Fakhr al-Dawla Abu al-Hasan 'Ali. AH 373-387 / AD 983-997. Æ Medallion (38.7mm, 7.64 g, 12h). Al-Muhammadiya mint. Dated AH 379 (AD 989/90). Cf NGSA 7 (27 November 2012) lot 1900; cf. Treadwell Mu377b. Broken piercing at 12h on obverse. Good Fine. Excessively rare. Like the specimen sold by Numismatica Genevensis in 2012, and in common with many other large early Islamic medallions, this handsome piece appears to have been cast and chased rather than struck.
