GOVERNORS OF SIND: Jabir b. al-Ashath, before 815, AE fals (1.12g), ND, A-4523J, obverse legend mimma amara / bihi al-amir jabir / bin al-ashath, reverse just muhammad / rasul / Allah, with minor symbols below, some porosity, F-VF, RRR. Jâbir was likely related to Muhammad b. al-Ashath, who was governor in Sistan circa 812-815, and may have fled eastward around the end of that time. We have found no direct reference to Jâbir, but the style of this fals is consistent with this period.
