<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 4644313, member: 74834&quot;]Thanks for reshooting the coin. But I&#039;m afraid it is not so clear as to what it is, because the coin is worn and some parts of the vital text are missing. The most important part is the outer circle on the obverse, especially the part between 1 o&#039;clock and 9 o&#039;clock. There you find the type (dirham or fals), followed by the mint and the year. The obverse has the beginning of the kalima in the center part, identifiable by the two V-like letterings at the top. </p><p>I&#039;m writing about the picture where you have put the coin on a white wooden rail. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147630[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The year is between 1 o&#039;clock and 5 o&#039;clock. If you use this scan with the numbers in Arabic, you can see at your coin a very clear 7 at 5 o&#039;clock, followed by (I think) 50. But unfortunately the hundreds number is off the flan, and the mint (6 o&#039;clock) is obliterated. Now if you an experienced Kufic reader you can try to find names: they are at the bottom of the circles in the center. But I can&#039;t help you there.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I had the impression this is a silver or billon coin, but the part with the name of the coin (9 o&#039;clock) is hard to read, too. So - in all, we don&#039;t come far. Sorry![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
