AMIR OF AL-KHUTTAL: al-Harith b. Asad, 893-905, AR dirham (2.05g), Munk, AH[2]84, A-B1440, citing al-Harith b. Asad below the obverse, the caliph al-Mu'tadid below the reverse, without any overlord, VF-EF, RRRR. This is first known Islamic coin from the mint of Munk, which was the largest city in the 10th century province of al-Khuttal, larger than Hulbuk, the administration center of al-Khuttal. It may be assumed that dirhams citing the mint as Khuttal or al-Khuttal were actually struck at Hulbuk or elsewhere as needed.
