EARLY
S E E P L A T E S
XVII-XXI)
E absenceof
mint-names
onmost of the
gold
dinars
issued
by the Umayyad and
early
'Abbsid
Caliphs
poses
a
challenging problem
of attribution
which
has
theretofore received
the
attention
itdeserves. Where
were
dinars struck?
It
would
be a
matter
of
great interest
to
how
many
mintstherewere and
justwherethey
were
forthese are
facts
that
would be of no little
value
in the
of the
economic
and
political development
of the
early
empire.
Quite recently,
in
an
article
published
in the
B ulletinde
T Institut
e
M . Marcel
Jungfleisch
has brought
forward
some
very
ious arguments which will
not
fail,
I am
sure,
to stimulate
interest
in
this
question.1In the
present article
I submit
y preliminary
contribution
to the
discussion.
A
rare
oppor- *
to
study
at first
hand
alarge numberof
Umayyad
and
'Abblsid
dinars
has
furnished
me
with
the
necessary
ma-
185
pieces
from
the
former
Yacoub Artin Pasha Collec-
acquiredbyRobertC. H. Brockin 1902 andgivento the

The series of

years
77 and 208 of the
Hijrah,
onlyfive of
mintless
years
are
lacking.

It is quite
obviousthat
any
attempt
toassign mints to the
dinarslacking mint-names
must
be based upon alargemassof
material
either examined
at first
hand
or eise
accurately
de-
scribed
or reproduced in theHterature.A cursorystudyof the
subject is enough to
convince
one
that
many,
perhaps
the
majority of the
published
mintless dinars have not been ac-
curately
described or reproducedthat is, the minute
details
upon which arguments and conclusions must rest have not, in
general, been conscientiously
reported,
M.
Jungfleisch appro-
priately
draws
attention
to
this
fact. My
good fortune, above
referred
to,
imposes upon
me the
prime
Obligationof
placing
be-
fore
the
Student this important body
of
material.
WhileI
doubt
that any
definitive
conclusions can be reached
before
a great
many
moredinars have been accurately
described,3
I have in
preparation for publication a detailed summary of the reliable
material heretofore published, together with
specific
arguments
for
the
attribution
of
over
100of the 279
varieties
of'Abbsid
mintless
dinars whichIhave been abletodistinguish.
These
attributions (many
of
them quite tentative)
are
limited
to the
dinars issued afterthe year
169
A.H.;in other words I have
at-.
tacked the problem at the easier and more vulnerable end, for
inthe last 30 years of the second, rfnd the first two decades of
the
third centuries
of the
Hijrah,
before
mint-names begin
to
appearregularly
on the
'Abbsid
dinars, there
are
many
more
3
Howgreatlysimp lifiedtheproblem wouldbe
if
provenanceandhoards
were
recorded.
Consider,forexample,theBaghdad
hoard
of30,000 (?)
dinars
whichcame to
light
on
the banks of theTigrisin
1897,
a part of which is apparently still preservedunpublished
inthe
Istanbul Museum
c f.
E.V. Zambaur
in his
obituary
of
Halil Edhem,
Mitteilungen
derNum.
Gesellschaft
inWien,II(XVIII), 7,1940,p. 131).
Thesewere mostly 'Abbsid
dinars of laterdate,but there may have
beenearlier
ones among them. In any case,
here
isanexampleofunpublished material which puts whathas so
far
been describedin the
shade.
Anotherexample is the great Ermitage collection which has been inventoriedonly
in the
most summary
fashion.

Same arly
r
abDinars 95
clues
for attribution
than
thereare in the
earlier period.
My in-
tention in
thus
working
backwards,
so tospeak,is toprovidea
firm
basis
for
further
study
and for the
eventual determination
ofcriteria for the attribution of the earlier issues.4
Itis myhope that the present articlemay
induce
readersto
re-examine the pertinent dinars in their possession or under their
care,and to publish, or otherwisemakeavailable, their fmdings.
With
such additionalmaterial I might anticipate making the
studyIhave referred to amore usefulonethan it
would
other-
wise
be.5
Inpreparing this publicationIhave taken intocon-
sideration over nine hundred dinars published in the scattered
numismatic literature in addition to those described in the pres-
ent
article.Thismight appear
to be an
impressive
number; but
the figure is
deceptive,
for
although
I
have excluded many whose
descriptions
are
obviously incomplete
orfaulty,I
have also prob-
ably
included averyconsiderable numberwhichshould for the
same reason, in a lesser
degree,
have been excluded.6 It can, =
therefore,
be readily appreciated that the accretion of additional
completely reliable evidence cannotfailtohaveafavorableeffect
onthestudyand itsconclusions.
Herewith
the listof
dinars
in the
three collections referred
A detailed
examination
of M.
Jungfleisch s
arguments,
with
whichI
fear
I cannot
wholly agree, will appear in its proper place. In brief,he is disposed to see in certain of
the
secretpoints indicators of theinitiallettersof thenamesof them intsatwhich given
dinars werestruck.Heconfessesthat
les
deductions. . .comportentencoreunebonne
part
d'hypothese.
Particulars
aside,
I
feelthat
a
much larger body
ofevidence
must
be
assembled
and that the argument must be built,
s
I say, upon a more secure foundation;
andit is forthese reasonsthatIamapproaching theproblemin thepresent fashion.
s
I
would
welcome
andgratefully acknowledge descriptions, castsorphotographs for-
warded
to me at the
Museum
of The
American Numismatic Society.

be
