<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 2225037, member: 75482"]Yes, this is a dinar of the Khwarezmshah 'Ala al-Din Muhammad, 1200-1220. Obverse center: "There is no god but Allah alone / Muhammad is the prophet of Allah / al-Nasir li-Din Allah (name of 'Abbasid caliph) / commander of the faithful". Obverse margin, Qur'an 9:33 (or portion thereof) "who sent him with guidance and a religion of truth in order that he might cause it to shine above all religion though the polytheists dislike it". Reverse center: "The sultan / the very great, nobility of the world / and of the faith, father of victory, Muhammad / son of [the] sultan, proof / of the commander of the faithful". Reverse margin, mint (not visible but similar examples at zeno.ru are attributed to Firuzkuh) and date (61x) formula.
