Message:: [QUOTE="Zuhara, post: 849249, member: 23099"]Hi Mukremin, I am just looking at your coins now. The reverse has the name of the caliph al-Ta'i (363-381/974-991) as posted above. The obverse appears to have "Abu Shuja" on the 5th line, which was a kunya of the Buyid ruler Adud al-Dawla (d. 372) If so, the coin would be a Buyid coin of Adud al-Dawla. I would be happier about this if I could actually see the name. Unfortunately, the other relevant lines I can't make out.  The mint name and the date also don't seem legible to me. They should appear after the bismilllah of the inner marginal inscription, beginning at 11:00 on the obverse. I can perhaps make out the year "300" (thelath mi'at) at 1:00-12:00 here, but nothing else.  Luke Treadwell's Buyid Coinage might help and you might try posting this picture in the World Coinage part of cointalk where there are experts who might be able to help you more. Will look at your other coins now. I have no idea about value, sorry.[/QUOTE]
