Nicely centered and well struck, this dirham has full detail and traces of mint luster remaining. There is a lot of die polish visible… don’t be deceived as there is no evidence of cleaning. It is a very choice coin with original, light golden toning

Obv: At center in 3 lines (“There is no deity except God alone He has no equal”) with legend around (“In the name of God this Dirham was struck in al-Basra in the year one hundred and five”)

Rev: At center in 4 lines (“God is one God the eternal and indivisible who has not begotten and has not been begotten and never is there his equal”) with the legend around (“Muhammad is the messenger of God he sent him with  guidance and true religion to reveal it to all religions even if the polytheists abhor it”)
