ABBASID: al-Mu'tamid, 870-892, AR dirham (2.68g), al-Muwaffaqiya, AH2(70), A-240.6, citing the heir Sa'id b. Makhlad as dhu'l-wizaratayn, "possessor of the two vizierates", about 15% flat strike ("70" of the date partly visible, but must be 270, the first year this vizier is cited and the last year of the coinage at al-Muwaffaqiya), VF, RR. Al-Muwaffaqiya was a military camp set up by the Abbasid army for their defeat of the Zanj Rebellion in southern Iraq. Normal Abbasid gold and silver were struck there in AH268-270, but the camp was abandoned after the defeat of the Zanj, which occurred early in 271.
