Album 1606 (please read note below) struck during the first year of Mahmud's coinage without the name of a Samanid overlord About extremely fine choice Superb and RRR.
Note:
This is the first reported gold coin of Ghazna struck prior to the
commencement of the regular gold issues in AH405 (type #1607) of lower
fineness than contemporary issues of Nishapur. The mint is very clearly
Ghazna not Herat and the legend arrangement is very different from
issues of Herat and Nishapur dated in and around AH389.
