GHUZZ OF SYR DARYA: Talha b. Tahir, 822-828, AR drachm (1.95g), NM, ND, A-99, Zeno-199471 (this piece), also citing the Afrighid Azkaswar together with the Tahirid Talha on the obverse and the unknown governor Muhammad above the horse's rump on the reverse; this is first reported example of this type, still unique, strong Fine, RRRR. This type should be regarded as the breach between the last of Afrighid Azkaswar II citing an Arabic governor (either al-Abrad or 'Akki) and the first issues of the Ghuzz, all of which cite the Tahir 'Abd Allah b. Tahir (brother and successor of Tahla, 828-845).
