Notes
A type not found in Shams Eshragh, who does however mention two dirhams from this workshop dating from AH 108. The addition of a twisted circle around the border of the obverse is an innovation of the al-Mubaraka mint. It is only found on some coins from AH 107 and 108, suggesting that it was a short-lived essai that probably conflicted too visibly with the Umayyad authorities' desire for unification.
