<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1414405, member: 5739&quot;]Thaks for the info mate! I should pick up that book... I never had too much interest in coins of this area from this time period untill recently, I was interested mostly in more modern issues, I have a wonderful Iraqi Riyal (200 Fils) of 1932, given to my by an Englishman years ago who was living in the states and had been a professor of the Classics in New Jersey. He was born in 1910, and travelled all over the planet, he told me he got this large silver coin somewhere in Iraq (most likely Baghdad) while it was still currency and King Faisal I was still king! Pretty amazing I love that coin, in my link below I have an &#039;Indian, Arabic and Asian coin&#039; gallery, it has some of my nicer coins from the areas ( including the 1932 Iraqi Riyal I spoke of ) .... but I have no coins of the type or time period as this Abbasid Dinar, so the help is much appreciated from all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only Arabic I can read thoroughly is the more modern numerals heh, and a couple phrases, none very helpful, even though I spent time being trained in basic Arabic, most of the phrases learned were not helpful when applied in real life.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also you picked out the dates of mine and doug&#039;s coins, as well as the ruler of mine and the mints of both of our coins ... so that, my friend, is impressive.... especially from 1200 year old coins inscribed in Kufic script. I just assumed the larger letters to be the date due to how they were aranged on the overall coin, thanks again for the explaination about that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
