    Hi, I'm unable to identifie this coin, but I've found some similar reverse in Vandals coins and some similar typology in Antioch Crusader State coins. That's all I can say. Someone could help me?

    Now, this is the vandal's coin:

    These are the crusaders coins with some similar typology. Not equal -if so, problem were closed- but just similar. I've seen Iberian, Celtics, Caloringian and other and this is the most adjusted to my coin I've found. See the Mose's Star and note the points, perhaps marks of value.

    I do not believe it is Crusader or Vandal. The reverse is a bit of a Rorschach test, but enough of the obverse is clear to make me certain its an Islamic coin. What are the dimensions of the coin? Size, weight?

    Wouldn't a vandal coin have a gang tag spray painted on it?

    I would agree with Ardatirion, maybe Abbasid or Ummayad.
