    I found 5 of these coins all similar to each other and can't figure out where they're from. So, I would appreciate some help from somebody who has knowledge of these coins. I'm at a total loss when it comes to these.

    They are clearly Arabic Islamic coins. Could be from Yemen. I can read " The greatest Abu Saad Khold Allah-King ". And also Abu Bakr. They look original and may be scarce.

    Thanks for the help. I have 3 or 4 more that are similar and were together with these 2. With what you've told me I'll do more research and see what I can find out. Thanks, Mike.

    Don't think Yemen. More likely Ilkhan.

    First one is Ilkhans, Abu Said, 729 AH, mint missing.
    Second one is again Ilkhan, Abu Said, Baghdad, date missing.

    They are pretty common.

    so what year were these made by our calendar? 1500s? Were they hammer struck? Milled?

    Approximately you need to add 584 to the Hijri calendar to convert it to Gregorian.

    Yes they were hammered.

    It is 1329 AD. To convert the dates, take three percent of the AH date, subtract the nearest whole number you get from the AH date, and add 622.
