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: al-Mu'izz, 953-975, AR fractional dirham (0.36g), NM, ND, A-699I, issue of the local governor Ahmad b. 'Isa: citing the Fatimid Imam as Ma'add Abu Tamin on the obverse, and the governor Ahmad b. 'Isa below the Sunni kalima on the reverse with floral symbol below; finest known example of Ahmad b. 'Isa, VF-XF, RRR. Ahmad b. 'Isà was likely not actually a Fatimid governor but a local Berber ruler who struck his coins in the name of the Fatimid Imam for hopeful protection against his enemies, including the Umayyads of Spain. The Fatimids administration might have formally accepted this arrangement.
