Description

Ayyubid: al-Kamil Muhammad I (1218-1238), silver dirham (1.94g), Makka (Mecca) mint, AH 632 (1234-1235 CE). Extremely fine. Of the highest rarity. Ex. SARC 33 (2019). Wonderful example from one of the most sought-after mints of all Islamic coinage. Album notes the following regarding this specimen: All Ayyubid of Yemen coins struck AH 627-634 were actually issued by the first Rasulid ruler, al-Mansur 'Umar I, who received the patent from the Abbasid caliph in Baghdad to issue coins in his own name in AH634, two years after this coin. It is possible that these were struck at Mecca in connection with the Rasulid request for the patent, or were struck in Yemen to present to the representative of the caliph at Mecca.
