UMAYYAD: Marwan II, 744-750, AR dirham (2.68g), Sijistan, AH128, A-142, Klat-446, with five pellets and five triplets of pellets in the obverse field, some light porosity, bold strike, well centered, About Very Fine, RRR. Klat knew of only one example of this mint and date, in the Al Thani collection in Qatar. A second specimen appeared in the Gorny & Mosch auction 148 in March 2006, somewhat nicer than this specimen, which fetched about $3825 (including the buyer's fee). This piece is apparently the third reported example.
