    Hello,

    I was hoping to identify this gold coin's origin. It looks Arabic but can it be Seljuk, or of Egyptian/North African origin? What's the best way to translate the inscription? Help much appreciated. Thank you

    Welcome!

    Might be something from around ~1000 AD, Ghaznavid. Try searching on www.coinindia.com

    (I don't know much about Islamic coins though)

    I can see similar traits. Maybe late Abbasid period? Thanks again
