'Alids of Tabaristan. al-Hasan b. Zayd. AH 250-270 / AD 864-884. AR Dirham (21.6mm, 2.77 g, 5h). Naysabur mint. Dated AH 262 (AD 875/6). Obverse field: al-Da‘i illa al-haqq in fourth line / Reverse field: al-Hasan b. Zayd in fifth line. Vardanyan 4 (citing a single specimen of this mint and date); Album 1523. Good VF. Extremely rare.

It appears that the ‘Alids briefly took control of Nishapur at least once during the 260s, when a nunber of rival warlords were struggling for power in Khurasan.
