[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 7456514, member: 44316"]Thank you, [USER=15481]@svessien[/USER] ! That is an excellent site. It has some good links that I didn't notice at first. For example, click on "Coins" and then on a particular coin and at the upper right is "Historical note" which tells a lot about the type, and also the link "Legend and Design" gives and translates the legends, which is very helpful for those of us who don't read Arabic. How about this as part of a legend? “Resplendent Moon of the World and the Faith, Lu‘lu‘, the Perfect King, the Honoured King.” Not too modest! It is on this coin: [URL]https://www.davidmus.dk/en/collections/islamic/dynasties/late-abbasids/coins/c307?show=design[/URL] Here is my example, bought in 1985. [ATTACH=full]1292466[/ATTACH] 25 mm. 6.06 grams. Atabegs of Mosul. Bakr al-din Lu'Lu (1233-1258) Bust left in square, legend outside / legend in four lines with legend (quoted above) around Spengler and Sayles 68. Album 1874.1. The one thing the coins on that website lack is citations to standard references such as Album's [I]Checklist[/I]. From the site alone you would not know their excellent example is Album 1874.1 which is S/S 68.[/QUOTE]
