FATIMID: al-'Aziz, 975-996, AR ½ dirham (1.13g) (Sijilmasa), AH37x, A-705S, Nicol, with the words lillah in the obverse center and 'adl in the reverse center, with the last two words of the date clear; unpublished and presumably the second known example of the silver coinage, VF, RRRR. This is the first example sold in our Auction 45, lot 491. Gold dinars of al-'Aziz from the mint of Sijilmasa are known dated AH368, 369, and 374, all incredibly rare. There are three different silver subtypes for al-'Aziz at the Sijilmasa mint, all for half dirhams with some variable weights: (1) standard type with dot in center on obverse & reverse, as at most other mints (2) similar but with "'adl" in the obverse center, "lillah" in the reverse center, only for Sijilmasa; and (3) with the full text "'adl lillah" in both the obverse & reverse center, only for Sijilmasa. This piece is type #2.
