AGHLABID: 'Abd Allah I, 811-816, AR dirham (2.58g), Ifriqiya, AH196, A-B438, lovely strike, without any weakness, Extremely Fine, RRR. The date words sana sitt wa tis'in was mi'a were struck without the letter h at the end of sana, due to a careless engraver.This is the first time all six years of 'Abd Allah I are offered. When al-'Ush composed his corpus of Aghlabid coins in 1982, only one silver coin of 'Abd Allah I was known, dated AH198. It is believed that about 50 examples were found in a recently marketed hoard, mostly corroded, often severely. The hoard included many othen rulers, with a terminal date of AH208.
