Description

Islamic, Ghaznavids, Ibrahim ibn Mas'ud, (A.H. 451-492) (A.D. 1059-1099), associated with the Caliph Al-Muqtadi Bi'amir Allah (A.H. 467-487). (A.D. 1074-1094), gold dinar, Ghazna mint, uncertain date, (A.1637, SNA Tubingen 425, cf.M.790). Weak in places, crudely struck as all known types of this ruler, otherwise very fine and scarce.

Part of a recent hoard, Album notes these gold dinars as scarce for this ruler, only one example of this type with Caliph's name in SNA Tubingen in their 800 plus Ghaznavid collection.
