CE, likely a later one, in range of the period of, for instance, El Cid.</p><p>......Gosh Golly, I really love it....</p><p>For researching Andalusian coins without the benefit of Arabic, the best help I&#039;ve gotten is from this site: <a href="http://www.andalustonegawa.50g.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.andalustonegawa.50g.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.andalustonegawa.50g.com/</a>&nbsp; It routinely cites two of the better references, has pretty good pictures, and is remarkably comprehensive for what it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
