GHAZNAVID: Muhammad, 1030, AR double dirham (5.05g), Ghazna, AH421, A-1617-var, thick flan; full bold mint & date in the obverse margin, with the ruler's titles jalal al-dawla wa jamal al-milla abu ahmad, choice VF, RRR. This is perhaps the first known double dirham of Muhammad b. Mahmud, well-known for both Mahmud and Mas'ud I. The regular dirham weights we have found vary from about 2.8g to 3.5g, and this is only heavier example we have seen.
