ARAB-SASANIAN: Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad, 673-683, AR drachm (3.78g), SYW, AH60, A-12, unlocated mint, also known as SYWN and several additional tentative spellings, breast ornament B6 (pellet within circle of dots), bold EF to AU, R. The style is so similar to coins of al-Basra (BCRA) that this mystery mint was likely located in either Khuzestan or southern Iraq; it may stand for a branch of the administration rather than a city.
