O. Byzantine Collection Publications 12), Washington DC, Foss suggests that the de-christianised coins (25.1) circulated in Transjordan although they may not have been struck there Obverse: bism allāh. Reverse: ţayib (good) in exergue Obverse: KAãON and bi-ḥims. Reverse: ţayib in exergue Around M: ḍarb and jā iz; in exergue: dimashq (current issue of Damascus) Reverse: ba labakk (Baalbak) Goodwin demonstrates that there are obverse die links with regular coins of the Damascus mint Reverse: ţabariyyah. Baisan ( ). Oddy, W. A., The Phase 2 Coinage of Scythopolis under Mu awiya and his successors, in Coinage and History in the Seventh Century Near East 4, pp , London 2015 (Oddy; 2015) In a forthcoming corpus, Oddy classifies the coins with garbled legends as Type 2 and places them late in the series; some similar coins are illustrated at Figure 12 in Oddy (2015). 323

5 The Pseudo-Damascus mint ( ). Goodwin, A. and Gyselen, R., The Irbid Hoard of Arab-Byzantine Coins, RNS Special Publication, The authors believe that the mint may have been in existence circa to strike coins for the Kalb tribe. Tony Goodwin has been kind enough to offer comments on the four coins catalogued here. See also: Album, S., A checklist of Islamic coins, Santa Rosa (2011) and Milstein, R., A Hoard of Arabic Figurative Coins, Israel Numismatic Journal 10, Reverse: åh in exergue; presumably an attempt at the mint signature for Damascus. Irbid hoard dies: O119E/R198A The Imperial figure is fairly conventional but the two pellets inside the chlamys suggest that coin belongs to this mint. Irbid hoard dies: O125 and R209D; Irbid hoard numbers 244 and 245 are struck from the same dies Reverse legend: jāza hadhā upwards to left, dimashq to right, wafiya in exergue (this current in Damascus) Goodwin (private correspondence) - obverse die O133 (plus two others) links via the reverse R246DW to a long die chain of more obvious Pseudo-Damascus coins including hunting figures, enthroned emperors, etc. 1 Sahar Coins, March Sahar Coins, March Zurqieh Coins, January D.
