 PREFACE. 
 
 THE coins of the Khallfehs of the House of Umayyeh 
 possess an interest peculiarly their own. Unlike those of 
 the 'Abbasls, historically they are of little value. But it 
 is not from the historian's standpoint that we should view 
 them. Their true worth lies in their being the first purely- 
 Mohammadan coinage that was issued by the Arabs. "We 
 picture to ourselves the Khalifeh 'Abd-El-Melik, wearied 
 with the difficulties and ignominy of an adopted currency, 
 calling together the wise men of his court, and constructing 
 a new coinage, full of the spirit that had fired the East 
 and well-nigh conquered the world. "We cannot but be 
 struck with the contrast between these early Muslim issues 
 and the Byzantine and late Sassanian coins which were at 
 first adopted by the Arabs. The difference between the 
 debased art of the Byzantine and the decayed ruins of what 
 had once been the fine Sassanian coinage, on the one hand, 
 and the simple chaste outlines of the first standard coins of 
 the Muslims, on the other, is the difference between decrepit 
 and demoralized nations and a people full of the fresh vigour 
 of youth. There is a power in the design of these earliest 
 monuments of El- Islam for which we may look in vain 
 among coinages contemporary with it ; and the strong bold 
 lines of the KufI character well express the mighty impulse 
 which urged on the followers of the Prophet. 
 
 It is not only as the expression of the power of the greatest 
 revolution which the Middle Ages witnessed that these coins
 
 IV PREFACE. 
 
 are to be prized. Though their historical worth is slight, 
 and scarcely, in fact, bears upon anything but the territorial 
 extent of the Muslim empire, yet palseographically they are 
 greatly to be valued, as the earliest and most authoritative 
 examples of the Kufi character, the progenitor of the 
 characters now in use from Morocco to India. Moreover, 
 as their Prophet sternly discouraged the fine arts, the 
 Arabs devoted themselves with exceptional success to the 
 study of calligraphy. They had a character well worth 
 cultivating, one of which we see the earliest record on the 
 Amawl coins, and of which the latest and perhaps most 
 beautiful form is the Naskhl of modern Egypt. 
 
 It has been the happiness of Oriental Numismatists to 
 have received last year an exhaustive work on the coins of 
 the Eastern Khallfehs,* both Amawl and 'Abbiisi, from the 
 hands of Dr. Wold. Tiesenhausen. To overestimate the 
 value of this book is impossible, and we cannot be too grate- 
 ful to Dr. Tiesenhausen for the labour he has bestowed upon 
 the work, labour which was not illspent, for it has conferred 
 upon the science of numismatics a benefit such as few have 
 been able to give. 
 
 Dr. Tiesenhausen has placed before us the whole coinage 
 of the Khallfehs of the East so far as that coinage was 
 published. There are, however, some collections with respect 
 to the contents of which little or nothing is publicly known. 
 Such, so far as Oriental coins are concerned, are the cabinets 
 of Paris, London, and of Col. Seton Guthrie.f 
 
 It is with the view of remedying this defect, as to Col. 
 Guthrie's collection at least, and of supplementing Dr. 
 
 * Monnaies des Khalifes Orientaux, 4to., St. Petersb., 1873. I 
 refer to this book throughout by the initial (T.) after every edited 
 coin.

 by Mr. Thomas.
 
 .PREFACE. V 
 
 Tiesenhausen's work with some thirty or forty unpublished 
 coins, that this Catalogue has been drawn up. The series 
 which it describes is scarcely, if at all, inferior to the cor- 
 responding portion in the British Museum, and an estimate 
 may be formed of the rarities contained in it by reference 
 to the list of Inedited coins at the end : the dinar of 
 Afrlkiyeh, and the dirhems of Sarakhs 99, Suk-el-Ahwaz 79, 
 and Meysan 95, 96, are especially noteworthy. The last 
 coin in the series, struck by the advocate of the 'Abbasis, 
 Abu-Muslim, is very curious, though already published. 
 
 The arrangement of the coins in this Catalogue is entirely 
 new. I have separated the gold from the silver, and classed 
 the latter under Mints instead of under Khallfehs. At 
 present I will only say that this arrangement is far more 
 convenient for reference, and I will reserve the ground for 
 the adoption of this classification for an essay, which I hope 
 before long to bring out, on the Coinage of the Amawl 
 Khallfehs, in which I propose treating of several points in 
 this coinage which have hitherto been overlooked or not 
 investigated as they deserve. 
 
 The copper issues of the Amawls I keep back to be 
 described in connection with the 'AbbasI copper, after the 
 gold and silver of the ' Abbasis have been catalogued. 
 
 An important feature in this Catalogue is the invariable 
 registration of the annulets which surround the marginal 
 inscriptions.* The diacritical and other points, also, are 
 recorded whenever they occur. These with the annulets 
 will take a prominent place in my future essay. 
 
 * Prof. J. G. Stickel of Jena, unlike most numismatists, has paid 
 attention to this detail of recording the annulets : this is only one 
 of the many distinguishing points which raise his Handluch zur 
 morgenldndischen MiinzTcunde (erstes Heft, 1845, Omajjaden- und 
 Abbasiden-Miinzen) to the very first rank amongst the classics of 
 numismatics, if I may use the term.
 
 VI PREFACE. 
 
 The plates accompanying the Catalogue are designed to 
 give a tolerably complete view of the Amawl coinage, and 
 with that object are unusually numerous. The photographic 
 (Autotype) process by which they were produced insures the 
 exact representation of any peculiarities that appear on the 
 coins. The figures on the plates refer to the numbers in the 
 Catalogue. 
 
 Exception will probably be taken to my method of spelling 
 Oriental names. Notably the word Amaicl, as a substitute 
 for the time-honoured but most objectionable mongrel 
 Ommiade, will be considered an unwarrantable innovation. 
 The- only other grammatical form and this would be equally 
 offensive to Ommiadists is Umaicl, and to this Amawl is 
 undoubtedly to be preferred. 
 
 In conclusion I wish to express my thanks to my kind 
 friend Col. Guthrie for the free use he has permitted me 
 to make of the whole of his valuable collection, and for the 
 confidence in me which he has shown by putting the present 
 work into my hands.

 The final letter of J-j J does not extend above the line of the 
 tops of the preceding ^ and c_>, and would therefore appear to be 
 Q.J or ^ : but I am nevertheless of opinion that the word is Debil, 
 partly because none of the res occurring on the coin extends 
 below the line of the connecting strokes of c_-> and (jw and such- 
 like letters, whilst this final letter does so extend ; and partly 
 because Debil is already a known mint (cf. T. 314) and the capital 
 of Armenia, whereas Debir is only a village near Nisabur. The 
 other alternative, Dubbeyn, does not, so far as I know, exist as the 
 name of a town : it is mentioned in the Adnotationes to the Mardsid 
 el-ittila (T. v. p. 433) as a district, ' pagus trans Jordanem prope

 The British Museum possesses a similar coin of the year 92, as may 
 be seen by a reference to the plate attached to my essay on the 
 Mint Characteristics of Arabic Coins. See also Mr. Thomas's 
 Comments on Recent Pehlvi Decipherments, p. 31.

 A similar coin of the same year is to be found in the British Museum 
 (see the table in my Mint Char., Num. Chron. N.S. xm. pi. i). 
 
 I am quite unable to identify this mint with any known 
 town. No name corresponding in the least with this is to be 
 found in the Harasid-el-ittild* ', or in Yakut's works. There 
 can be no doubt whatever as to the name delineated on the coin : 
 every character is perfectly distinct, and we are forced to read 
 <UxLJl, though of course this might be Es-Samiyeh, by omitting 
 the points : I think the penultimate letter must be a ^j . There 
 is not the slightest trace of a connection between the alif and the 
 following mim, by which the alif would be turned into a lam. 
 Sen. Camarino seems to read it Es-Samiyat (i.e. Es-Samiyeh) : see

 This is the first coin in this series on which I find the gram- 
 matical mistake of using the masculine form tl ^3l of the dual 
 numeral in adjectival connection with the feminine noun <L-j. On 
 all the preceding coins the correct feminine form ,.^j^ or (con- 
 tracted) i^j+z^ has been employed. The latter form ,^~jj, which 
 very commonly takes the place of ^^Jl, has been almost universally 
 misread by numismatists: they generally transcribe the word as 
 ..^Jl , although this is grammatically wrong, and moreover (so far 
 as my experience goes) is uniformly opposed to the form of the 
 letter, the connecting line between the first stroke and the second 
 proving the former stroke to be a the. Only one other example of 
 the occurrence of the word .~3\ is to be seen in this series, no. 145.

 It is not till we remember that in the year 126 fell part of the 
 reign of each of three Khalifehs (El-"Welid n., Yezld m., and 
 Ibrahim), that the full significance of these three arrangements of 
 annulets in this year is seen. For a discussion of the whole 
 question of the use of annulets I must refer the student to my

 On the reverse the annulets are six, o o o o o o , not 
 between the words, but outside, as usual. 
 
 This is one of the remarkable class of coins (of which about eight 
 are known) struck by Abu-Muslim, the energetic leader who set the 
 representative of El-' Abbas on the throne of the Khilafeh, and over- 
 threw the power of the Amawis in the East. It thus forms a link 
 between the Amawi coinage and the regular 'Abbasi currency. 
 Though the coin above described does not present the name of Abu- 
 Muslim, there can be no doubt as to its attribution, on account of 
 the introduction of the new and very suggestive marginal inscription: 
 ' Say, I will not ask of you any reward, but love to [my] kindred.'
