SKU DD107Coins naming another ‘Abdallah15 (III) were only recently published (in Fishman/Todd's "The Silver Damma) - they are known only from a single hoard and... remain extremely rare. Stylistically, they are similar to the coins of Ahmed, and have the same inscription and layout but with a more angular and cruder script. It is likely that Abdallah III was Ahmed's son and successor, and his reign is roughly dated to 1000-1020 CE.
