RR silver damma, Muhammad I (c.720s/50s CE), sub-governor of Multan, Abbasids (F/T#M32)

(Lillah) ‘Abd / al-Malik (In God, ‘Abd al-Malik), two dots below // Stylized fire altar of three dots, stylized Sharada “Sri” above, “ta” to left and “pa” to right, auxiliary marks around. 13mm, 0.60 grams, Multan mint. Fishman/Todd "The Silver Damma" Type M25.

Coins of Abd al-Malik are extremely rare - two examples were located by Fishman/Todd, and the coins are given the highest rarity (RRRR). 

Some extremely rare coins of early style, found in the hoard containing the early Islamic three-dot coins, name a certain ‘Abd al-Malik. His title is unknown because, unlike his near-contemporary Amir Muhammad I, ‘Abd al-Malik did not disclose it. However, it is possible to investigate his identity, as the historical records do mention an important official with this relatively uncommon name. It seems very likely that ‘Abd al-Malik could be the Umayyad Military Governor of Sindh ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Misma who held office in Sindh and Multan a few years after the conqueror Muhammad bin Qasim, from ca. 717 to perhaps 720 CE (or earlier). According to the historian Khalifah ibn Khayyat [Ibn Khayyat 1985: 322] ‘Abd al-Malik was appointed by ‘Adi ibn Artah al-Fazari, the Governor of al-Basrah, but dismissed by the Caliph only a few years later. The early style of this type matches the timing of the rule of the Governor ‘Abd al-Malik nicely, so this identification can be made with reasonable certainty.

These coins are studied in detail in "The Silver Damma" by Fishman and Todd, now a standard catalogue for this sort of small silver coinage.
