<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2126008, member: 19463&quot;][ATTACH=full]403812[/ATTACH] </p><p>Mine is like VK&#039;s - same mint but later in date.&nbsp; The mint is on the obverse between 8 and 6 o&#039;clock.&nbsp; The date starts there and climbs up to 2 o&#039;clock.&nbsp; I&#039;m told mine reads 185 AH so it is 801 AD which make the coin from the reign of Harun al Rashid (which is why I bought it - I did not know his name was not on the coin).&nbsp; My reverse legend is longer and has a large Allah in the middle of the second line (the only word I can read).&nbsp; I am unable to read the number 185 on my coin but thanks to the luck of VK&#039;s coin being 155 and mine 185 I now believe the date reads base inward right to left five and eighty and 100 which is a great advance in my understanding of the matter ----- if I am correct???&nbsp; If I liked these, I would feel obligated to learn the numbers and other mint names so I&#039;m glad I don&#039;t.&nbsp; I do now know what parts of the legends are significant so I might pick up others with super clear legends on the obverse from 8 to 2.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
