Note
The second known specimen of this coin, showing a rare marginal inscription. This type of inscription, usually found on seals, was probably chosen by the issuer himself and served as his motto. Traditionally named Ibn al-Ash´ath in historical sources, 'Abd al-Rahman had been sent by al-Hajjaj to bring peace to Sijistan. Urged on by his men, he turned against al-Hajjaj and the caliph Abd al-Malik. In AH 82 or 83, he withdrew to Sistan after being defeated by troops who remained loyal to al-Hajjaj and died there in AH 84 or 85.
