<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 3314728, member: 81887&quot;]This is an early Umayyad gold dinar, these do not have a ruler or mint city listed on the coin (though they were almost certainly struck at Damascus).&nbsp; The year is spelled out in the margin of the reverse, I can make out the first part &quot;tis&#039; wa&quot; &quot;Nine and&quot; but the last word is harder, maybe &quot;themanin&quot; &quot;eighty&quot; so year 89 AH.&nbsp; The date can&#039;t be earlier than 77 AH, and I don&#039;t see the word for one hundred, &quot;mi&#039;at&quot; (which is pretty distinctive and I could probably recognize),&nbsp; so either 79, 89 or 99 AH is almost certain.&nbsp; Hopefully someone who actually reads Kufic-script Arabic can help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
