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.
FATIMID: Abu Yazid Makhlad, rebel, 945-946, AV dinar (4.16g), al-Qayrawan, AH334, A-A694, Nicol-202, with the additional phrases rabbunâ Allah and the Kharijite la hukma illa lillah above the obverse and al-'izzatu lillah above the reverse, plus the phrase al-haqq al-mubin // khatim al-nabiyyin divided below the obverse and reverse; lovely example; weak digit of the date, but confirmed by other examples on CoinArchives; cleaned, NGC graded AU details. According to N.D. Nicol, "Abu Yazid was born about 270/883 and became a Kharijite leader of the Ibadi al-Nukkar sect. He began anti-government agitation during the reign of al-Mahdi, but it was in the final years of the caliphate of al-Qa'im that he began the revolt which almost destroyed the Fatimid regime in its infancy." This took place in AH333-334 (945-946), but the next Fatimid caliph al-Mansur rapidly defeated and captured Abu Yazid, who died in the first month of AH336.
