ABBASID: al-Mansur, 754-775, AV dinar (4.21g), NM, AH144, A-212, believed to have been struck somewhere in Iraq, Extremely Fine. The calligraphy of this year (AH144) is still similar to that of the late Umayyad dinars, which terminated in AH132. The silver mint at Dimashq (Damascus) was transferred in AH138 to a tentative Iraqi mint known as al-Hashimiya, finally to Madinat al-Salam (Baghdad) in 146. All dirhams of al-Hashmiya and those of Madinat al-Salam dated 146 retain the Dimashq calligraphy.
