Hey everyone - had a friend ask me to figure out what this coin was - and I have to admit I’m not sure. Said he bought it in Afghanistan. thanks!
I found a lot of them that look close to it, just can't find the right coin. Hope somebody here has an answer.
It seems based on a dirham, but there are so many different types (and imitative types) I would have trouble narrowing it down. Maybe try the Ancients forum? My square dirham doesn't look much like it... (Granada 1390-1491)
I agree. The reverse names Yamin al-Dawla Mahmud in the last two lines. Also named is the 'Abbasid caliph al-Qadir billah. The first letters of the mint name bi-Ghazna appear in the obverse margin at 6 o'clock. The date is off flan.
