"'Irbid hoard', found in Jordan in the mid 1960s, is still the only known hoard of Arab-Byzantine coins. It is of particular interest because it consists mainly of two unusual types of coin (Pseudo-Damascus and al-wafā' lillāh), which were previously poorly understood and only known from a small number of examples.
