[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 25851527, member: 4910"]I had some time on my hands. Harun al-Rashid (Life: AD 763-809 Reign: AD 786-809) was the caliph of the "Arabian Nights." This coin has no mint name but was known to be minted in Baghdad. On this coin he proclaims his son al-Amin to be his successor.
