Buwayhid, Sultan al-dawla, Dirham, Shiraz 406h, obv. central legend arranged in and around enlarged lam-alifs, 4.18g/10h (Treadwell Sh406; A 1581; ICV 1622). Lightly cleaned, weak in parts, otherwise very fine £60-£80

The second line of the reverse legend reads malik al-muluk shahanshah; this appears to be the reading on the coin illustrated by Treadwell, although his transcription of this line is different
