<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 4020784, member: 102653&quot;]Obscure ruler? How does a ruler who isn&#039;t known outside of a single coin issue fit? This piece is attributed to Sa&#039;id bin Yahya who is not known from any historical sources but some believe he was the governor of the al-Shash region of Central Asia under the Abbasid Caliphate. This coin was previously unpublished before James Farr and Vladimir Natish wrote &quot;An Unrecorded &#039;Abassid Fals of al-Shash, AH 149, in the name of al-Mahdi&#039;&quot; for JONS 168.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1057248[/ATTACH]149 AH - 766-767 CE</p> <p style="text-align: center">AE Fals</p> <p style="text-align: center">Sa&#039;id bin Yahya under amir Muhammad al-Mahdi</p> <p style="text-align: center">al-Shash Mint</p> <p style="text-align: center">Abbasid Caliphate</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next: Southeast Asia[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
