ABBASID OF YEMEN: al-Ma'mun, 813-833, AR fractional dirham (0.51g), San'a, AH213, A-1050T, Zeno-322663 (this piece, with extensive discussion about this type), citing only the governor Ahmad al-'Umari, who rebelled against al-Ma'mun during the year 213 and is also cited on a gold dinar of 213 (Zeno-322806); both this piece and the dinar lack the name of the caliph al-Ma'mun; unpublished and apparently unique; pierced and evenly worn, Fine, RRRR. A quarter dirham at this time should weigh in the range of 0.72g, and it seems likely that this is a worn, pierced, and somewhat clipped down quarter dirham.
