ABBASID: Al-Radi Billah (934-940), silver dirham (3.56g), Al-Rafiqa mint, AH 323. Triangle in lower obverse field. Unpublished variety, A-255.1 (for general type). Fine or better. Variety extremely rare or unique.

Strange and likely unrecorded variety with a triangle in the lower obverse field, which was probably recut into the dies. Other examples of this mint and date (such as ANS 1917.215.404) do not include the triangle, the significance of which is yet unknown.
