ABBASID REVOLUTION: al-Kirmani b. 'Ali, AR dirham (2.29g), Marw, AH128, A-A208, standard Umayyad style dirham, but with the addition of mimma amara bihi / al-amid / al-kirmani / bin 'ali in the obverse margin; faint scratches, some peripheral corrosion and light chipping, VF, RRR. Al-Kirmani seized Marw in 127, but was soon afterwards killed in 129 as a result of machinations by Nasr b. Sayyar. His dirhams do not include the Qur'an verse 42:23 inscribed on nearly all coins of the Abbasid Revolution.
