Umayyad - Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, 116 AH, Wasit

[wrongmove]

Date as I read with help of Richard Plant's book is AH126.
Weight - 2.33 g
size-25-26mm
Mint - Wasit

It came with a ticket which says "Dirham - the Umayyad Caliph Merwan II - murdered 750 ( 744-50) Rare Revolt led by Abu-l-Abbas(749) murdered Caliph 750."

So confused if it is Merwan II or Yezid III.

Also I don't like the look and feel - can this be fake?
Thanks

Thanks

Wasit (واسط), was a military and commercial city of medieval Iraq, especially important during the Umayyad caliphate (661–750 AD). Wasit was established as a military encampment in 702 on the Tigris River, between Basra and Kufah, by al-Ḥajjaj, the Umayyad governor of Iraq.

Thanks Maythem. 

I missed the reading date - 10 and 20 has ending different .

Hisham's coins do exist with 3 amulet but wondering if this is heavily underweight - 2.33 vs normal weight 2.75-3 g.
Thanks

Your coin has unfortunately been (very neatly) clipped which explains the light weight.

It is missing a mm or so round the whole edge which can can be seen by comparing with mine below, which is 2.86 mm and 28 mm.
