GOVERNORS OF SIND: Jâbir b. al-Ash'ath, early 9th century, AE fals (1.13g), NM, ND, A-—, obverse legend mimma amara / bihi al-amir jabir / bin al-ash'ath, reverse just muhammad / rasul / Allah , with minor symbols below, some porosity, mainly on the reverse, beautiful obverse, but corroded reverse, Fine, RRR. Jâbir was likely related to Muhammad b. al-Ash'ath, who was govenor in Sistan circa 812-815, and may have fled eastward around the end of that time. We have found not direct reference to Jâbir, but the style of this fals is coherent with this period. The only example previously known sold in our Auction 31, Lot 2219, assigned to Muhammad, but now that the full name is clear, it is Jâbir, not Muhammad.
