<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 3637424, member: 89314&quot;]I was in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago and went to see Eduard Domingo at Aureo &amp; Calico.&nbsp; Although he is very knowledgeable about all Spanish coinage, his speciality is in fact Islamic coins. I asked him whether he knew any with the dates we are looking for.&nbsp; The only one&nbsp; he could find in their auction records was this:</p><p><br /></p><p>Mamlouks of Egypt, in the name of Al-Zahir Saif al-Din Abu Sa&#039;id Khushqadam</p><p><br /></p><p>AH 867. Dinar ashrafi. (Mitchiner W. of I. 1189 sim) (Lavoix 1076 sim) (S. Album 1019). 3,41 grs. Rara con toda la fecha.</p><p><br /></p><p>Year AH: 867 ( = 1462-1463 AD)</p><p>Peso: 3,41 grs.</p><p>Subasta: 216</p><p>Fecha subasta: 28/01/2009</p><p>Numero lote: 257</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently (I know nothing about Islamic coins) the date is usually written in words but this one has 867 in numbers ۸۶۷ at the bottom of the obverse</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]976182[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
