Several specimens are recorded to have been struck at Qarqisiya in AH 275, with this unique one being struck at Harran. While this ruler is from the Uqaylid dynasty, the next coins of this dynasty were only issued a century later.
Interesting fact
The Uqaylid dynasty, which minted this coin, was a short-lived but significant dynasty that ruled over parts of modern-day Iraq and Syria during the 9th and 10th centuries. Despite their relatively brief reign, the Uqaylid rulers left a lasting legacy in the region, particularly in the fields of art, literature, and architecture. This coin, bearing the name of Muhammad ibn Safwa, is a testament to the dynasty's influence and reach during that time period.
