ABBASID: al-Mu'tamid, 870-892, AR dirham (4.09g), Andaraba, AH280, A-240.10, struck on a broad flan and intended as a presentation or donative issue, VF, RRR, ex SARC Auction 15 Lot 194. Andaraba was technically under Banijurid control, but from time to time dirhams were issued at Andaraba solely in the name of the Abbasid caliph, perhaps for some sort of presentation to representatives from the caliphate, to honor their acceptance of the caliph as master of the Islamic world. This type is previously unreported for al-Mu'tamid -- all other specimens seem to be the traditional thick narrow flans resembling the Hindushahi drachms.
