IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
AYYUBID OF YEMEN: al-Nasir Yusuf, 1180-1193, AV dinar (2.32g) ('Adan), A-G1088, struck from crudely engraved dies, probably contemporary unofficial issue, but in fine gold, VF-XF, RR. Saladin never had direct authority in the Yemen, but as suzerain over Tughtekin, his name was placed on the coinage in lieu of Tughtekin himself. Tughtekin struck coins in his own name after the death of Saladin in AH589, until his own death in 593.
