Comments

Known dates are 643, then almost every year 650-670.  Qa’an al-‘adil or qa’an al-‘adil al-a‘zam within the obverse  hexagon, kalima within the reverse square, date & mint in the 
reverse margin.  Dirhams of 643 are usually very well struck, later dates increasingly crude. 
This type was struck mainly at Tabriz. Other mints are very rare. Some dates between 644 and 649 have been reported, but never confirmed; 643 was probably a frozen year until 649.
