ALID OF TABARISTAN: al-Hassan b. Zayd, 864-884, AV dinar (3.79g), Nishapur, AH262, A-T1523, with the 'Alid phrase al-da'i illa al-haqq, "advocate for the truth", and Qur'an verses 33:33 in the obverse margin, 22:39 in the reverse margin; moderately crinkled surfaces, but all legends fully legible, VF, RRRR. This is the third known specimen of the Nishapur AH262 gold dinar, the first sold in the ICA Auction #2 in 2000 (lot 524), the second in our Auction 43, lot 476. Nishapur was in confrontation between Sunni and Shi'ite supporters in the AH260s, falling to the Sunni rulers by 268 (after an hiatus in coinage 263-267).
