Additional information

Anonymous silver dirhams of the Georgian kingdom present persistent attribution difficulties — the deliberate omission of a ruler's name was not administrative oversight but a calculated political or religious choice, sometimes reflecting contested succession, sometimes deference to a nominal Islamic suzerain whose name equally could not appear. At 0.55g, this piece is well below the standard Abbasid dirham weight, suggesting either local adaptation or heavy clipping in circulation.
