'Abbasid Caliphate. Al-Muktafi. AH 289-295 / AD 902-908. AR Dirham (27.4mm, 2.85 g, 10h). Andaraba mint. Dated AH 291 (AD 903/4). Letter ﻭ above obverse field / Reverse citing Abu’l-Husayn Wali al-Dawla. Album 244.2. VF. Extremely rare.

Andaraba was not under direct ‘Abbasid authority when this coin was struck, with power in the region being contested by the Banijurids and Samanids. This coin, which lacks the name of any local ruler, may have been struck during a brief window where neither of these dynasties was able to exercise firm control there.
