ARAB-SASSANIAN: THE FIRST EVIDENCE OF ISLAM ON COINAGE, CIRCA AH 31-83 (652-702).

- Anonyme - Pashiz de cuivre non daté, vers AH 72-95 (691-715), Istakhr. Buste sassanide de face, pointant les index vers le ciel / Autel zororastrien entre deux servants. 3,30g. A B46.
Une monnaie splendide et de grande importance historique.
Note
Probably the finest known example of this rare coin. The gesture being made by the ruler wearing a Sassanian crown is extremely interesting. Pointing one's forefinger to the sky was the traditional way of recognizing God's Uniqueness and was a gesture particularly required of new converts to Islam.
