MASKUKAT auction #123

DEPENDENT EMIRATE OF CÓRDOBA, PERIOD OF GOVERNORS. Anonymous. 1/2 Dinar. (Au. 2.14g/14mm). 102H. al-Andalus / الاندلس. (Vives 15; Album 134C). With the expressed value: النصف / "al-nisf" (medium). Extremely Fine. Slight scratches on both front and back. Extremely rare, we only know of five other examples: one in the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, another in the collection of the Hispanic Society of America, the one listed in the catalogue: "Unpublished Plates of D. Antonio Delgado" (plate I, no. 10). As mentioned in Aureo & Calicó in the Tonegawa Collection Vol. II, no. Lot 4, another example is represented on the collection's website in addition to the one offered at auction, which sold for €25,000 plus its respective commission. This new example is now added to this small series, whose excellent state of conservation and clear epigraphic imprint provide valuable evidence for understanding early Andalusian issues. It expands the known corpus and offers material testimony to the scope and continuity of the Umayyad monetary reform in the westernmost part of the Caliphate.
