Arab Armenian, "Muhammad" (Muhammad b. Marwan?), Ca. AH 80 (AD 700). AR Zuzun (3.76 gm, 32 mm). "ART" (Ardashir Khuarrah?) mint. Dated year 26 (frozen date). A-H97 (RRR), ICV-90, Zeno-214376. Among the most desirable sub-varieties of this often overlooked series, with the "governor's" name written in Arabic in the obverse margin, possibly referring to Muhammad ibn Marwan, who completed the Arab conquest of Armenia between AD 704-705. With the exception of the noted entry from Zeno, the Greek letters A, T in the bottom crescent appears unrecorded, where only T, F, M, and S were previously known. Well struck on a nice broad flan. Minor hairline scratches. Minor crack. Unrecorded. Choice Very Fine. Toned. Extremely Rare.
