"1929.5 AR Dirham, as #1929.2, citing Arghun, with reverse field in square, known dated 686 (sic)
R [Rare]
Coins of types #1929.2-1929.5 (except #1929.3A) closely resemble contemporary post-reform Ilkhan dirhams except for the addition of the name abish bint sa‘d beneath the kalima below the reverse field. All have mint & date in the reverse margin, except for a rare variant of #1929.4 which has Qur’an 61:13 in lieu of mint & date.
These four later types follow the contemporary Ilkhan 2.4-2.5g weight."
