    Nope!
    But I asked a friend who can read arabic....
    No mention of rulers name. However the mint is clearly defined as Hadrat Fés
    The date is defined as "five and ninety and thousand" =AH 1095
    Rest are verses from Quran

    Wow! Another great acquisition, @panzerman. I enjoy the subtle beauty of the calligraphy of Islamic coins.

    I would in your situation stick to World Crowns/ Talers/ Multiples. The one struck by the HRE/ German States are amazing esp. the Double/ Triple/ Five fold Talers.
