SAMANID: Nuh III (976-997), AR heavy Dirham (3.49g), Bukhara, AH 374. Citing official Sa'ad, "'adl" (Justice) upper field, reverse citing Abbasid caliph Al-Ta'i' and ruler with his title "al-malik al-mansur" (the victorious king), "hasbi Allah" (Allah is sufficient to me) below. A-1470. Minted on a very large flan. Lovely example, choice about uncirculated. Unrecorded and of the highest rarity.
The mint name could be another unpublished mint, since the last two letters are clearly connected, unlike other examples of this coin. There are two specimens found online on Bukhara AH 374, one in Zeno and one currently offered by Tim Wilkes for around $110. Both are in lower or weaker conditions, and both do not include the phrase "hasbi Allah" in the lower reverse field. This example is possibly the only known piece carrying this phrase. It is also clearly far superior in condition to any other dirham of this mint/date combination.

Accepted Payment Methods:
(1) By submitting a bid, a bidder acknowledges his acceptance of the following terms and conditions and will be bound by them.
(2) The winner of the lot will be the highest bidder. In the case of two conflicting similar bids, the earlier bid will be considered the winning bid.
(3) In case of any complaints or disputes, the auctioneer (MKIC) holds the right to settle the dispute as he thinks best.
(4) MKIC holds the rights to cancel a bid, withdraw a lot, or deny a bidder from the auction without any given reason.
(5) A buyer’s premium of twenty percent (20%) will be added to the hammer price for each lot won by a bidder.
(6) All buyers must, only if required, provide proof of identification and references (other auction houses).
(7) Bids can be submitted through the timed auction platform, NumisBids, and email.
(8) The description of the lots is in no way a guarantee. MKIC attempts to describe the coin in terms of weight, diameter, grade, and all other information as accurate as possible. The buyer is responsible for examining the photos of the lot and confirming its description.
(9) Lots auctioned by MKIC are guaranteed to be genuine, except if the lot is described as a “reproduction”. Lots that are certified by NGC, PCGS, or ANACS are guaranteed to be genuine by those grading services, and MKIC is not responsible for any claim on authenticity for these lots. See line (10) for conditions on returning non-genuine lot(s).
(10) Refunds are not accepted for any reason, except if the lot(s) is proven to be non-genuine and if the lot does not resemble the photo(s), if any. This does not apply to lots which are described as “reproduction”. In the case of a non-genuine lot(s), the buyer is responsible for safely shipping the lot(s) back to MKIC in their original shape, after which a full refund, minus the shipping costs, will be issued. MKIC requires a well-known expert’s opinion on a claim on a lot’s authenticity. MKIC also holds the right to select an expert. Refunds are only accepted if the buyer submits a claim regarding authenticity within 2 weeks of the delivery date.
(11) MKIC acts as an agent between the seller and the buyer, and shall not be held responsible for any default by either party or for any action or claim that may arise in connection with any lot.
(12) (a) Payments for lots are due at the moment an invoice is generated. If payment is not received within 14 days of the conclusion of the auction, extra storage fees may apply. (b) Payment can be made through PayPal or bank transfer. (c) For payments made with PayPal, an additional fee of four and one-half percent (4.5%) will be added to the total invoice amount. (d) For all payment methods, the buyer should make sure that MKIC receives the full amount, meaning any fees that may apply should be taken care of by the buyer. If you are not sure what fees may apply, make sure to contact your bank or your transfer agency beforehand. (e) The auctioneer holds the right to deny either method of payment. In this case, a payment by the other method is required. (f) PayPal transactions are in USD (United States Dollar) currency, and bank transfer transactions are in AED (United Arab Emirates Dirham) currency.
(13) (a) After payment is concluded, the lots are shipped by MKIC, and lot pickup is not a possibility. (b) Shipping methods used are registered mail, express EMS mail, or FedEx Express. (c) Any fees or problems that may arise in customs of the destination country are of the responsibility of the bidder. (d) Risk of loss is on the buyer. MKIC holds no responsibility on orders that are lost in transit or are held in any location. With that said and the risks understood by the buyer, our shipping methods are safe, as we do frequently ship valuable shipments via these methods. (e) MKIC also holds the right to determine shipping and handling costs on invoices, with $10 USD as a minimum for registered mail to non-GCC countries, $35 USD as a minimum for express EMS mail to non-GCC countries, and $130 as a minimum for FedEx shipments to non-GCC countries. Shipping costs are lower for shipments headed to GCC countries, including the United Arab Emirates.
