GOVERNORS OF SIND: Farâs (?), ca. 840s/850s, AR damma (0.23g), A-4523, F&T-CS23, legends Allah wali / farâs (?) / (wa) nasiruhu // muhammad / rasul / Allah, struck on tiny thick flan, this example and the one sold in our Auction 36, Lot 1152, confirm the entire obverse legend, EF, RRR. This important piece confirms that the governor's name cannot be 'Abbâs, as I previously suggested, as the first letter is either Arabic "F" or "Q", with no other letter before. We have been unable to find a name in the chronicles that fits this name. The weight standard and style of this type suggests a late Abbasid governor, shortly before the Habbarid takeover circa 854.
