eAuction #30, Lot 102. Estimate: CHF 1'000.00

Umayyads. Yazid II (101-105 AH = 720-724 AD). AV 1/3 Dinar 103 AH (12 mm, 1.31 g).
Album 134e.

Very rare. Minor nick, otherwise 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.
