AL-RASHID, (A.H. 170-193) (A.D. 786-809), gold dinar, no mint name but struck at Misr, (Fustat in Egypt), A.H. [18]5 = A.D. 801, major type variant with additional additional inner circle on the reverse naming the heir al-Amin in the inner marginal legend, (A.218, cf.BMC 154, Lavoix 758). Very fine and rare.
This additional legend occurs on only a limited number of pieces for a few years in this period. It represents a major departure and experiment never to be repeated.
