eAuction #30, Lot 103. Estimate: CHF 1'000.00

Umayyads. Al-Walid I (86-96 AH = 705-715 AD). AV 1/2 Dinar (17 mm, 2.09 g).
Bernardi 45.

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

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.
