FATIMID: al-Musta'li, 1094-1101, BI dirham aswad (1.79g), NM, ND, A-727, Nicol-2431, caliph's name is misspelled al-mutasa'li instead of al-musta'li in the obverse margin, F-VF, RRR, ex SARC Auction 12 Lot 314. From this reign to the end of the dynasty, the billon coins are rather ghastly produced "black dirhams". Most are grossly struck on irregular flans of variable thickness and shape, showing only partial inscriptions. After AH525 there are also a few carefully struck round dirhams of what appears to be tolerably good silver, all extremely rare, as noted in the listings.
