HAMDANIDS, Nasir al-Dawla & Sayf al-Dawla, conjointly (A.H. 330-356) (A.D. 942-967), gold dinar, Madinat al Salam (Baghdad mint), issued A.H. 331 = A.D. 942-943, (A.747 = A.260, cf.M.589). Estremely fine and scarce.
The Hamdanids of Iraq and Syria (A.H. 317-406, A.D. 929-1015), issued coinage in Syria and the Jazira, the two branches issued coinage in joint name and had respective capitals at Aleppo and Mosul. The issue of 330 and 331 at Madinat al-Salam was not as independent rulers but as chief amirs to the caliph. This issue above was very rare until the discovery of several hundred pieces in a hoard.
