Comments

Stephen Album's Checklist of Islamic Coins designates this coin as “Rare” (R).  Type C has the same inscription as Type B, but is different in the the mint name is typically surrounded in a circle.  For Tiflis, the mint name often is halfway in the circle, probably due to the length of the mint name.  The year is typically in the circle, but not always.
