<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 4739508, member: 75482"]The date as I read it is 6[1]8, written out in words in the margin (right image). "Eight" ثمان is clear at 6 o'clock. Reading anti-clockwise, the decade is flat but the "six" ست of "six hundred" is legible beginning at 3 o'clock. No temporal ruler is named, only the 'Abbasid caliph al-Nasir, but the coin is attributable to Chingiz by date. Compare this virtually identical example with the decade "ten" عشر fully legible: <a href="https://www.zeno.ru/showfull.php?photo=219659" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.zeno.ru/showfull.php?photo=219659" rel="nofollow">https://www.zeno.ru/showfull.php?photo=219659</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
