EARLY UMAYYAD ARAB-BYZANTINE & ARAB-LATIN

1 1 (x3) 1

Umayyad, Arab-Byzantine, North Africa, Anonymous (c.700-704), ¿ Semissis, 2.00g, double bust in style of Byzantine coins, abbreviated Latin inscription in nomine domni ...non est, rev. cippus topped with globe on three steps with bead below, abbreviated Latin inscription, (in nomine tvo Deus) omnipotens non est Deus nisi solvs Deus (Bernardi 10; Walker 144; A.116), extremely fine, very rare

£4,000-5,000

When the Arabs reconquered Carthage in 698 they began to strike coins in the Byzantine style, as these were recognised locally. The two imperial figures represented are those of the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius and his son Heraclius Constantine. The legends express Muslim religious formulae written in an abbreviated form of Latin. The obverse legend starts ‘in the name of the Lord,’ the equivalent to the Arabic bismillah. The reverse legend continues the Islamic kalima: ‘There is no god except God (Allah), he is alone with no partner.’

2 2 (x3) 2

Umayyad, Arab-Latin, North Africa, Anonymous (c.704-17), ¿ Semissis, 2.00g, cippus topped with globe on three steps, abbreviated Latin inscription, rev. inscription in margin and across field ‘non est Deus nisi unus cui non est alius similis’ (Bernardi 21; Walker 168; A.120.1), about extremely fine

Walker P.44; A.122), edge split, good very fine

£1,400-1,800

The Arabs conquered Spain in 711 and issued coins similar to those of North Africa, but with increased thickness and in a baser gold. They are distinguished by a star, which is thought to represent the Evening Star, which shines in the West, just as Andalusia formed the westernmost outpost of the Islamic world at that time.

5 5 (x2)

Umayyad, Arab-Latin, Spain, Anonymous (c.712-14), ¿ Solidus, 5.03g, indiction XI (AH94), abbreviated Latin inscription ‘hic solidus feritus in Spania anno X(C)IIII’, in field INdC XI, rev. star, abbreviated Latin inscription, ‘in nomine domini non Deus nisi Deus solus cui non socius’ (Bernardi 30; cf.
