Here, and in ensuing years, where محمد رسول الله is in the area, the marginal legend begins with ارسله; that is, محمد رسول الله is not repeated in the margin, area and margin to be read together as one continuous declaration.
P. 188 = Longpérier, p. 7.
These issues of the year 316 are the first of 'Abd al-Raḥmān III's that can be accepted as authentic. Conde (p. 246) described a dirhem of the year 301, but this was doubtless a purely imaginary coin, the date having been selected as a vehicle to illustrate the legends employed by the new Cahph1. Brethes' unique dirhem of the year 305 (no. 481) is rejected on the grounds of Brethes' established unreliability; the support of a sales-catalogue specimen of the same date (Gagarine, 492, "mit Abd (?)") is insufficient.
Castiglioni's reference to a dirhem of 310 A. H., mentioned by Tychsen is inadequately documeneed2.

Codera correctly observed that his coin, formerly the property of Manuel Almonte of Seville, and now HSA 144421 cannot have been dated in the 3rd century in view of the fragment of the century phrase preserved at the end of the obverse marginal legend. "La palabra مئة cien nos indica que no pertenece á fines del siglo III, pues entonces diria مائتين , 200ino que debe ser del siglo II ó del IV: por su carácter no cabe dudade que es del IV." "Two hundred" would not end thus. The style and the tag-end of the inscription place the coin therefore in the 4th century and doubtless in the early years of that century. It is of interest to note also that Codera stated (p. 73) that "el adorno que se vé en la parte inferior de ambas áreas, se observa en diferentes variedades" of the issues with the name ابن بهلول (see above nos. 181 (i), (j) and (k), and 183). Only the Paris specimen has the mint preserved. Lavoix attributed the coin to the period of ‘Abdullāsh (275–300 A. H.), but in view of the considerations just stated, it is clear that this type was issued under 'Abd al-Raḥmān III.

The inclusive dates of no. 216 are based upon the appearance of the name of Sa'īd from 322 onward in the third decade of the century. The Ermitage specimen is not described but presumably is similar to the auction specimen, which in turn resembles P. 187, a specimen with both digit and decade effaced (see no. 218, below). The weight of the auction piece is exceptionally heavy for a one-third dinar.

The attributions of (c) and (d) are certainly suspect. However, Vives' specimen with سعيد cannot be rejected out of hand, especially as the coin was in his own collection and he could not have read 330 for a date in the twenties. Østrap's description, with محمد, is probably to be rejected as a misreading of قاسم or of the date.

The two Paris quarter-dinars were attributed by Lavoix to the period 322–328 on the basis of Codera's observations1. I have extended the period to 330 in the light of the Sa'īd coinage of 329 and (perhaps) of 330 A. H.

Probably (c) is actually the same as (b). There are many reverse dies and on some of the specimens I have examined the rosette is blurred and might possibly be described as having less than eight petals; but I believe that all the rosettes are intended to have eight. Many of the above references do not mention the presence of the rosette, but to judge by the many examples seen, all of which have the rosette, all the dirhems of this year bear this ornament.

The overwhelming evidence speaks for the rejection of Conde's pl. II, 3 (although the engraving seems to show this date), and of Østrup's 2242 with محمد beneath the obverse and Gagarine's 502, with the same name. Also Brethes' 489 of Madīnat al-Zahrā' is obviously an erroneous attribution.

I have assumed Vives to be wrong in indicating that the obverse area has the mint-date formula. The evidence seems to point to the continued use in this period of the reverse margin for the mint and date; and, incidentally, Prieto y Vives equates the Badajoz hoard specimen (with mint-date formula in the reverse) with V. 399.
It is impossible to determine whether the Badajoz piece is exactly similar to the one illustrated in the Madrid guide, because (as in a number of other instances) the illustration in Prieto y Vives' article is incorrectly labelled, the piece being described as a dinar but the corresponding illustration obviously a fractional dinar; and the reproductions are not fully legible.

Because of broken dies, poor engraving and worn flans it is often difficult to tell how many petals the rosettes have. There are some definitely with eight, others with six. Paris has one with seven. They have all been grouped together in this one category. Many of the references listed below do not make mention of the rosettes at all, but as I have seen none without, I have assumed that all have rosettes of one type or another.

This specimen is curious in that it would appear to be a counterfeit or irregular issue but the inscriptions are not barbaric.
These specimens with stars or sun-bursts beneath the reverse have been grouped together because imperfect engraving, worn dies and faulty descriptions make it impossible to distinguish among them. The HSA specimens alone exhibit four different dies with four quite different types of stars.

The description above is that of the HSA specimen which is almost identical with that in Codera (Gayangos' piece), but it is not the same coin. Vives' description is for the most part normalized. The HSA specimen must be that belonging to Codera, cited by Vives. The issue certainly appears to be a counterfeit but Codera and Vives1 attributed it to Fās on the grounds of style and the presence of the name al-Mu'izz.

The mint is almost entirely lacking due to the fragmentary state of the coin, but I believe that parts of the letters ... can be distinguished, and that the mint is, as to be expected, Madīnat al-Zahrā' and not some exceptional name ending in letters similar to سنة. Prieto (p. 101) mentions, but does not cite specifically, a dirhem of 349 A. H. with repeated سنة.

I consider that Brethes' second specimen numbered 502, Fraehn's p. 1***, no. 231, and Østrup's 2262–3, all supposedly with محمد, and Longpérier's (Soret's) coin with "Saīd" (p. 7), are to be rejected as misireadings. See above under no. 238 (f). Bodleian no. 93t, listed as of Al-Andalus, is obviously a slip for Madīnat al-Zahrā' and Gagarine's no. 528 of Al-Andalus is doubtless a misreading.

Vives1 lists an imitation of billon dated 352, with عامر beneath the obverse and al-Ḥakam's usual reverse. The genesis of this curiosity eludes explanation. Conde's pl. I, 6, appearing to be dated 352 and so attributed on p. 251, with يحي beneath the reverse, must be an artistic fabrication.

Most specimens in this year have the floral ر of لا شريك, but the practice is not at all consistent; for example, some, but not all, of (b), (o) and (t) lack the floral letter and hence are really varieties of different dies. Occasionally the final letter of "fifty" is floral.

This piece is completely anomalous. Vives lists the Codera (HSA?) specimen as an imitation, but I find nothing in the style or fabric of the coin to suggest this attribution. The lack of the name of 'Abd al-Raḥmān on the reverse is indeed curious, but I do not believe on this account that it is an illegal issue.

I assume the reference to V. 484 in Codera's Cuenca to be an error; a dinar among this silver hoard would have elicited some comment.

Lorichs (4806) lists a dirhem of Al-Andalus, 362 A. H., with 'Āmir, which perhaps should be rejected. It may, however, be the issue tabulated by Codera, reference to which is made above (after (a)). In view of the proximate resumption of Al-Andalus as a mint name I do not reject the issue out of hand.

As in the case of a specimen of the year 362 (see above, p. 344), Dos Santos' dirhem of 363 (no. 3028), struck at Al-Andalus supposedly, is not to be summarily dismissed, particularly as the catalogue recognizes the rarity of the issue; in other words the designation is not an inadvertent slip. However, as the citation is unique and in a salescatalogue, I do not feel justified in giving it a separate entry. The specimen in the Gagarine catalogue (no. 541), al-Audalus, 363 A. H., with "Ja'far," is too uncertain and improbable to be included.
Conde illustrated (pl. II, 9) and described (p. 253) a copper coin of 363, with rev. /عامر, which might just possibly be genuine, but in view of the large proportion of fanciful creations in Conde's monograph I do not consider it proper to give it a regular entry. The engraving shows an interesting characteristic occasionally observed on other specimens: the end of the obverse margin continues beyond and above its rectilinear beginning.

One would be inclined to reject this attribution if it were not for the fact that the catologuer of the Dos Santos collection appeared to be aware that the type is unique (he notes that it differs from V. 496–7). Also, with the transfer of the mint back to Al-Andalus, the year is an irregular one and 'Abdullāh may have been an official whose name has not survived on any other specimen.

The Codera and Hispanic Society specimens are in all probability the identical piece, although Vives' description does not tally in every respect. The error in writing the name of the mint is very curious and offers grounds for interesting speculation. Is it simply a die-engraver's slip, or was the Madīnat al-Zahrā' mint actually still in operation during this year? With some diffidence I suggest that the mint name is a slip and that a die-engraver, formerly engaged at the Zahrā' mint, and now transferred to Cordoba, began, as he had long been accustomed, to write مدينة الزهرا, whereupon he collected himself and followed مدينة with the first letters of الاندلس; and finally, perhaps concerned that he would not have sufficient space for الاندلس, ended up with الزهرا after all.

Another irregular piece bearing al-Ḥakam's name, which should receive mention here is one cited by Vives (no. 1400), dated 3 × 1 at Al-Andalus, and having the name of 'Abd al-Raḥmān.
The description of Østrup 2264 is confusing, and I doubt very much that the attribution is correct. It is listed under al-Ḥakam as a quarter-dinar of the year 366, no mint: shahādah in the obverse area, شهيد beneath, and Q. IX, 33, in the margin; in the reverse area the second part of the profession of faith (i. e., محمد رسول الله), with عبد above and الرحمن beneath. Reference is made to R. 205, which is a dirhem of 356, with the usual al-Ḥakam reverse and which resembles Østrup's description only in that it has شهيد beneath the obverse.
A dirhem of al-Ḥakam's, Al-Andalus, 366 A. H., with "Said," listed in the Gagarine catalogue, is anomalous and probably to be rejected.
Conde (pl. I, 8, p. 252) has a supposed dinar of al-Ḥakam with سعيد/الحاجب on the reverse. The engraving is not legible and the coin is surely to be rejected as a creation of the artist and author.

Codera tabulates one specimen (Madrid) with عامر beneath the obverse area, but I do not know whether it is gold or silver, and furthermore as neither Vives nor Rada mention it I doubt the correctness of the attribution. Conde's supposed dirhem of 367 A. H. (p. 254), with محمد beneath the obverse and عامر beneath the reverse, must be imaginary. The coin appears not to be illustrated in the plates, although it is referred to as "no. 8."

Vives does not question the date, but Rada describes it as 36(7?), and gives the Christian date-equivalent as 997/8, which is 387, not 367. This confusion, as well as the doubtful digit, makes the attribution of the coin somewhat suspect. If the attribution is correct, this would be the first appearance of Fās as an Umayyad mint. The interchanged second and third lines of the reverse area are characteristic of the Fās mint in the early years.

The Hispanic Society specimen is in all probability the one from the Codera collection. I suspect also that this coin is Vives' no. 1412 (listed under "Imitaciones," billon), the only specimen in this entry being Codera's. Vives read the date "394?". The portion of the decade preserved is equivocal, but in view of the area legends I conclude that "70," rather than "90," is correct.

It is remarkable that of the specimens seen no two are alike (with one possible exception); and it is to be noted that all 34 specimens in the Madrid collection are, to judge by Rada's notation, different. There must have been an extraordinary number of dies.

The occurrence of a coin of Madīnat al-Zahrā's struck in the year 388 seemed to me so remarkable that I asked Mr. John Walker to check the reading of the coin itself. This he very kindly did and wrote me his confirmation of Lane-Poole's attribution. "It is not too clear, being partly off the flan, but taking what is visible and making allowance for the rest, I do not see that it can be anything else. It certainly is not بالاندلس."

The majority of specimens in this year have the circular margin, but a few issues have the rectilinear first quarter: (h), (i), (j), (k), (s), (u), (aa). However, there are specimens of issues (i) and (u) with circular margins. The ر of عامر and the ع of تسع is sometimes floral. There are occasional points over letters in the obverse margin.
HSA 15196 (2.55).
The obverse margin of this specimen is somewhat clumsy and garbled; and the date is a little doubtful. The coin looks like an irregular issue, possibly a contemporary counterfeit.

Brethes (609) lists another specimen with "Maad" beneath the obverse and 'Amir beneath the reverse. "Maad" is probably Mu'izz; it may be that there was an issue of Mu'izz without the father's name.
I imagine that Cerda 214, محمد with beneath the obverse, and عامر beneath the reverse, is a misattribution.

Tychsen's attribution of a coin (p. 133), with احمد beneath the obverse and with الحاجب above and عبيد beneath the reverse, is surely an error.

The obverse margins of all specimens seen are circular, with the following exceptions: (ggg), (ppp), one specimen of (qqq), and (yyy) have rectilinear first quarters; (bbbb) is completely rectilinear. The final letter of the decade in some specimens is floral; and the ر of عامر is floral in a few. There are usually points over various letters in the obverse margin. In some specimens there are points ⋮ at the left of the lines of the reverse area, standing free of the last letter in each line.

As a rule the obverse margins in this year have the rectilinear first quarter. There are, however, exceptions with circular margins: (ii), and (mm) through (vv), and (yy). It will be observed that those with circular margins have floral ornaments above the obverse area which take up so much space that the use of the rectilinear firet quarter is precluded. There are usually points over various letters in the obverse and reverse margins.

The lack of the name of Tamlīḥ on the above specimen is remarkable; the omission is quite possibly an inadvertence on the part of Lavoix.

Vives lists the above coin as an imitation. I have dealt with another Vives imitation class of this date (V. 1412) under the year 374 above. Codera lists still another coin with الحاجب above the obverse and عامر beneath the reverse (Codera and one other), date questionable. In view of the dubious date I have not given the presumed issue a regular entry.

Codera (Títvlos, p. 16), doubtless referring to the first three specimens cited above, confirms the reading of the date 398 on "a few" of Muhammad's coins. In attempting to explain the issue he suggested that perhaps the revolution against al-Manṭūr's son did not have such quick results as reported by the chroniclers, or that the involved developments of these years were not entirely correctly reported. Vives (p. XXVI) believed that his coin was an "equivocatión" of the engraver, a view supported by the debased metal of his specimen.

There is in the Gagarine list (no. 586) a dirhem with "Berd" and "Abdulaziz," i. e., with inscriptions apparently similar to (o), but attributed to Muḥammad II; also a specimen of Hishām's with "Dschafar" (probably for جهور). I doubt the authenticity of these attributions.
(p) Details lacking except Hishām.
M. p. 76, no. 222, Sotheby [2].
I suspect that a specimen listed by Brethes (no. 582–3) and another in the Dos Santos catalogue (no. 3062), with عبد الملك beneath the obverse and الحاجب above and عبد الملك beneath the reverse, are misattributions. They may be of the year 394.

All specimens seen, with two exceptions, have circular obverse margins. The exceptions, with rectilinear first quarters, are (t) and (u). The ج of جهور is provided with a point beneath. There are points over various letters in the obverse margin. The د of محمد in some specimens is floral.

HSA 15603 (2.93). Plate viii
The obverse margin of the above coin is very curiously written and I am in some doubt as to both the mint and the date. Both the ف and the س of Fās are somewhat irregular (but they often are); the م of مائة is directly on top of the ع of اربع; and the letters following the century are anomalous. I think it maybe that we have here a reengraved obverse die of the year 394, the word "400" having been super-imposed on the end of the earlier digit and the beginning of "90", and the meaningless و و added to fill in the space of the rest of the old decade.

Lewelel, pp. 112–4 ( Atlas , pl. XVII, 2); Fraehn, Berichtigungen, cols. 188–90; Lelewel, RN, 1860, p. 333; Karabacek, NZ, 1869, pp. 135–48 (pl. VI, 1–5); Dannenberg, Kowal , p. 321, no. 5; Dannenberg, pp. 460–1, no. 1185 (pl. LIII).
The first specimen of this remarkable hybrid, from the Trzebun (Trchébougne) hoard in Poland, was misidentified with respect to both obverse and reverse by Lelewel. Fraehn corrected Lelewel and argued that the coin had been restruck, by error on one side only. Lelewel's letter to Longpérier (RN, 1860) deals with the same specimen and this time properly identifies the rulers. Subsequently Karabacek published another specimen from a hoard of 1100 coins of late 10th to early 11th century date, found at Ciechanow (District of Przasnysz), also in Poland; and in the same notice he cites three more specimens, one in Dannenberg's possession since 1867, and two others from the Ciechanow hoard which were not acquired by the original owner of the find. Among other coins in this hoard were pure imitations of Hishām's dirhems of 392 A. H., and Karabacek shows that the bilingual was struck with an imitation die of this year. He was able to establish the upper and lower limits of the burial as 1002–1020 A. D., and he definitely attributed the issue to Henry II, 1002–1024 A. D. Three more specimens from the Kowal hoard (located between Warsaw and Bromberg) were later described by Dannenberg, who subsequently summed up the evidence in his Münzen der Sächsischen und Fränkischen Kaiserzeit.
The exact circumstances surrounding the manufacture of these curious hybrids cannot be determined. All we can say is that the coinage of Hishām II was known in Germany and was imitated there, possibly for trade with Spain. Earlier relations between Germany and Cordoba are well documented by the accounts of the embassy of Jean de Gorz, representing Otto I, who in 956 A. D. visited the court of 'Abd al-Rahman III1.

A dinar of Hishām iii, Al-Andalus, 418 A. H., described by Codera (pl. XI, p. 112; cf. Títulos, p. 20), is not acceptable as a regular issue of the Umayyads. Cf. Prieto 39a. There is a photograph of the coin in DR., Monetario, II, 13.

P. 350 = Prieto 27 b.
I assume that the unique coin described by Prieto is the Paris specimen. Lavoix read بن جهور (?); Prieto, ابن ذكوان. While the coin is illustrated in the Paris catalogue, an independent reading on my own part from the photograph of the exceedingly obscure name beneath the obverse is out of the question. Unless Prieto had some reasonable basis for reading ابن ذكوان, I would incline toward Lavoix's original reading, بن جهور.
