Hi,
Could anyone identify mint place and/or year for this Abbasid? Or perhaps some for information about it?

It has been a good while since I last studied these and no longer have any reference books, but I think I am correct in stating that the coin is
a Samanid dirham of the Samarqand mint. The ruler stated at the bottom of the reverse (which is presented upside down here) is
Nasr b. Ahmad.
