In a forthcoming corpus, Oddy classifies the coins with garbled legends as Type 2 and places them late in the series; some similar coins are illustrated at Figure 12 in Oddy (2015). 323 The Pseudo-Damascus mint (24.20-23). Goodwin, A. and Gyselen, R., The Irbid Hoard of Arab-Byzantine Coins, RNS Special Publication, 2015. The authors believe that the mint may have been in existence circa 685-690 to strike coins for the Kalb tribe. Tony Goodwin has been kind enough to offer comments on the four coins catalogued here.

Reverse: åH in exergue; presumably an attempt at the mint signature for Damascus. Irbid hoard dies: O119E/R198A. 24.21. The Imperial figure is fairly conventional but the two pellets inside the chlamys suggest that coin belongs to this mint. Irbid hoard dies: O125 and R209D; Irbid hoard numbers 244 and 245 are struck from the same dies. 24.22-23. Reverse legend: jāza hadhā upwards to left, dimashq to right, wafiya in exergue (this current in Damascus). 24.23.
