Rev: Arabic legend Fi Zaman al-Imam Amir al -Mumineen Khulidat Khilafatahu, fllowed by AH date in figures.

Very fine, Extremely rare.

Later rulers of the Sayyid dynasty struck silver coins in the name of Muhammad bin Firuz; however, as G&G note, no tankas that could be attributed to his own reign were noted while the catalogue was written. This coin, with a discernible AH date 793, is the first such coin.
