AMIR OF OMAN: Anonymous, 969, AR dirham (2.60g), 'Uman, AH358. A-1163U. Totally anonymous, with only the first portion of the kalima in the obverse center, mint/date formula around, Qur'an Sura 112 in reverse field, verse 9:33 in margin, Buwayhid style, some surface porosity, unpublished and presumably unique, VF, RRRR.
Estimated Value$3,000 - 4,000.
The first coins dated 358 struck at 'Uman cite the last of the Wajihids, 'Umar b. Muhammad, the second is this previously unreported anonymous type, and the third is the issue in the name of the local ruler Hallâj b. Hâtim towards the end of the year. Both the issues of 'Umar and Hallaj cite the Buwayhid overlords and the Abbasid caliph al-Muti', but this type is totally anonymous, not even citing the caliph. Due to the confusion during that year, it is possible that this type was struck at a different Omani mint than the other types.
