Banijurids. Abu Da’ud Muhammad b. Ahmad. AH 260-285 / AD 874-899. AR Dirham (23.1mm, 2.98 g, 11h). Al-Taliqan mint. Dated AH 284 (AD 897/8). cf. Spink Zürich Auction 27, lot 466; cf. SNAT XIVc, 1232 (dated AH 285); Album 1433. Good Fine, ex-mount. Very rare.

This coin is quite different from the more common issues of Taliqan 284; the ruler’s name is given as Abu Da’ud rather than Muhammad b. Ahmad, while the mint-name is preceded by al- and is spelt with the different form of ta. It seems possible that the two types were struck at different mints.
