Hey there coin talkers! I have a few Arab dirhams I recently came into as part of a larger collection. I would love to know more about the date/variety as well as any info about their value. I am very unfamiliar with the type. Thanks! Mark View attachment 1410587
All purport to be dirhams of the 'Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid, 786-809, struck at al-Muhammadiya in the name of the heir al-'Amin Muhammad and citing the vizier Ja'far, with dates 186 (upper left), 187 (upper right) and 183 (? blundered, lower). Album 219.9. At least two (upper right & lower) of the three appear to be plated (contemporary?) counterfeits, with plating beginning to peel away at the edge. An extremely common type and mint.
