Abstract

The article deals with a new small metal disk with an Arabic inscription incised on it. The study gives the reading and translation of its text and places the object in the Islamic medieval metalwork group it belongs to. It is the fifth example that is known. The reading of their Arabic texts shows they were used to identify mail coats (hauberks) belonging to the cordovan umayyad army in order to reintegrate them to the armoury after they were used. It corresponds to the times of the Caliphate of Hiša–m II.
