eAuction #29, Lot 115. Estimate: CHF 2'000.00

Umayyads. Al-Walid (86-96 AH = 705-715 AD). AV 1/2 Dinar 91 AH (15 mm, 2.01 g).
Bernardi 77.

Extremely rare, much rarer than the 1/3 Dinars. Very fine.

Ex NGSA 7 (2012), 440 (2200 CHF).

From 91-103 AH, the Umayyads issued 1/2 and 1/3 Dinars to copy the Byzantine fractions of the Solidus: the Semissis and Tremissis. These 1/2 and 1/3 Dinars, called nisf and thulth, are all very rare today.
