RRR silver damma, Hassan I (c.late 700s-early 800's CE), sub-governor of Multan, Abbasids (F/T#M47)

Arabic Allah wali/ Ḥassān/ wa nāsar ("Allah is the protector of Hassan and (his) helper") // Stylized fire altar of three dots, stylized Sharada “Sri” above, “ta” to left and “pa” to right, auxiliary marks around, Arabic Hassan / Lillah ("Hassan in God") below. 13mm, 0.62 grams, Multan mint. Fishman/Todd "The Silver Damma" Type M47.

Extremely rare, with only one example of type M47 published in Fishman and Todd (total of 3 coins of all types published in that catalogue). Coins of Hassan I remain extremely rare.

These coins are studied in detail in "The Silver Damma" by Fishman and Todd, now a standard catalogue for this sort of small silver coinage.
