ABBASID: al-Amin, 809-813, AR dirham (2.72g), Bukhara, AH193, A-221.4, nice Very Fine, R. Citing only the caliph's brother al-Ma'mun, as heir-apparent and son of the caliph, namely, son of the deceased al-Rashid. This was true at all mints in the northeastern section of the caliphate, where al-Amin was never actually accepted as caliph, in lieu of his brother al-Ma'mun, who did not formally claim the caliphate until AH195, eventually defeating and ordering the execution of al-Amin near Baghdad in AH198.
