BAHRI MAMLUK: Baybars I, 1260-1277, AV dinar (4.30g), Dimashq, ND, A-880, superb strike, full lion, About Uncirculated, RRR. This is the only dinar of Baybars minted at Dimashq that I have seen, much rarer than the mints of al-Qahira (Cairo) and al-Iskandariya (Alexandria). The mint name appears both atop the reverse field and in the reverse margin, the latter followed by the word al-mahrusa, "the protected".
