GOVERNORS OF SIND: Jabir b. al-Ash'ath, likely before 815, AE fals (1.66g), "Ram", ND, A-4523J, obverse legend mimma amara / bihi al-amir jâbir / bin al-ash'ath, reverse just muhammad / rasul / Allah / râm; superb example, better than any of the 5 examples sold in our previous auctions and the first one with the word ram boldly clear, EF, RRR. Jâbir was likely a brother or cousin of Muhammad b. al-Ash'ath, who was governor in Sistan circa 812-815, and was appointed by Muhammad as subordinate governor at a different location. "Ram" could refer to the Sistan city of Ram Shahristan, the earlier capital of Sistan before it was replaced by Zaranj as the capital, or more likely, it could refer to some unknown location in Sind or Multan, as this type is found in Sind and not in Sistan.
