Anyone know what this coin is?

    I found a small group of these, unidentified coins from an old European auction. I have no clue to their retail value and I have not been able to ID them. Other coins that came in the box were even smaller ancients. The coins are not quite as round as this and are about 1/4 inch in diameter.

    I'll bet this should take you guys less than a minute!

    Our Ancients members never cease to impress!! I particularly like a number of the writeups posted here at CT. Mini history lessons!

    Yeah,

    221/2 minutes to see the Op and 1/2 minute to type the answer. :D

    Apparently, these things are offered for $60 - $100. I'm going to blow them out at FUN.

    The key word is "offered". $5-10 is more realistic, I'm afraid. The op, by the way, is a little bit better variety with عز ('izz, "esteem, honor") below the ruler's name on reverse, perhaps Album 1502A rather than 1502 (though Album notes 'izz on both obverse and reverse of 1502A).
