AV Bezant (Dinar) 24mm. 3.29g. Third phase, circa 1187 AD Pseudo-Arabic inscription within two rings; legend around. Pseudo-Cufic legends. Balog & Yvon 7; Metcalf, Crusades 487; CCS 4a Good VF. Scarce earlier type. Original flan crack from time of manufacture visible, but resealed by striking the coin. Caliph al-Mustansir ruled from 1036-1094. This earlier imitative type features obviously blocky calligraphy in the spirit of the original Islamic type, but blundered. It lacks the Cross, and letters B or T added later on more common types. |
