BURID or related: Unknown ruler, ca. 500-550, AE fals (1.81g), remarkable style, unrecorded and not yet fully deciphered, but probably Burid or something closely related, pierced, RRR.

The named ruler in the obverse center is perhaps Jamal al-Din Muhammad b. Buri, fl. AH 533, known only from a gold dinar of Dimashq 533. The reverse center seems to have the Seljuq ruler Sultan Sanjar, possibly followed by one of the other contemporary Seljuq rulers, e.g., Mas'ud. The obverse inner margin is undeciphered, the outer margin perhaps contains the mint & date, but is almost totally off flan. The reverse margin has the kalima, followed by the beginning of Qur'an 9:33.
