Owner Comments:
AD 773/774. Wound up being cheaper than the MS61 example from about 10 years earlier (AD 765), same Caliph, that I obtained from a Lanz auction a few months ago. Heritage auctioned off a series of nice Abbasid dinars in May, 2021, from which we also obtained al Saffah the first Abbasid caliph. Al Mansur, this caliph, was the second caliph of the Abbasids and he founded what is now Baghdad.
