The paper focuses on the mint of Ta‘izz in Rasulid times (7th-9th Century AH/AD 13th-15th Century) and offers an updated review of the numismatic literature devoted to the activity of this mint. An anonymous Arabic source, not yet considered for the history of this mint, give hints on the process of cutting dies and striking new dirhams in connection with the accession to power of al-Ašraf (778-803 AH/AD 1363-1376). The parallel, made in some previous publications, between the mint of Tha‘bāt, where the Ta‘izz mint moved for some years, and Mabyan is questioned as well as the existence of moving mints in Rasulid Yemen.

Abstract
The paper focuses on the mint of Ta‘izz in Rasulid times (7th-9th Century AH/AD 13th-15th Century) and offers an updated review of the numismatic literature devoted to the activity of this mint. An anonymous Arabic source, not yet considered for the history of this mint, give hints on the process of cutting dies and striking new dirhams in connection with the accession to power of al-Ašraf (778-803 AH/AD 1363-1376). The parallel, made in some previous publications, between the mint of Tha‘bāt, where the Ta‘izz mint moved for some years, and Mabyan is questioned as well as the existence of moving mints in Rasulid Yemen.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
