8 pcs. medieval islamic silver coins himyar dirham, abbasid, himyarite kingdom

Discover the quiet authority of late antique Arabia with this lot of medieval islamic silver coins, perfect for a collector's cabinet, a study reference, or a framing display in a historical interior. This set reads like a small archive of southern Arabian minting, presented as eight quinaries associated with a Himyar ruler and cataloguing interest for numismatists; himyar ruler coinage appears in the coins' exergue as the mint signature. Each piece shows classic obverse and reverse portraiture and mint marks consistent with RYDN issues dated to the early second century AD, making them useful for display, comparison, or academic notes.

• Lot of 8 AR quinarius coins from South Arabia, presented together as a single lot for collectors and researchers.
• Ruler attribution: Amdān Bayān Yuhaqbiḍ (struck in the name of ʿAmdān Yuhaqbiḍ or ʿAmdān Bayān), with legend elements noted as ʿmdn Byn on some pieces.
• Date: circa AD 100–120; mint: RYDN, with the mint signature visible in the exergue on several coins.
• Condition and type notes: obverse—head within circular torque; reverse—head right and MDN BYN scepter symbol to right, with varying degrees of strike and surface consistency across the lot.
• Size and weight: approximately 12.3 mm diameter and 1.41 g each, small quinaries typical of the period and region.

All orders shipped to the United States are prepaid with tariffs included, so buyers in the U.S. will not have additional tariff fees on delivery. These coins are sold as a historical lot; because they are ancient small-denomination silver issues, expect natural variations in strike, surface, and patina that reflect their age and circulation history.

- Shipping note: tariffs and prepayment apply to shipments to the United States as stated above.
- Processing: coins are offered and shipped together as the single described lot; no individual coin splitting is indicated in this listing.

This description draws on the period and minting details recorded on the coins; the obverse and reverse motifs, the RYDN mint signature in the exergue, and the ruler attribution to Amdān Bayān Yuhaqbiḍ are taken directly from the items' legends and typology. Collectors interested in Himyar or South Arabian numismatics, or in early Islamic and late antique transitions across the Arabian Peninsula, will find this 8-piece group offers a compact and study-ready example of regional coinage circulation. If you would like additional photos, close-ups of legends, or measurements of individual pieces before purchase, please request them through the shop messaging system and we will provide the images we have available.
