[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 26200964, member: 87809"]Using AI Gemini I was able to translate the script: The Arabic script on the obverse [I]al-sultan / Salah al-Din / 1132 [/I]translates to “Salah-al-Din the Sultan” (year AH) 1132. The Islamic year AH 1132 corresponds to the Gregorian year 1719/1720, the year when this Pitis was minted. Here is a breakdown: al-sultan: "Al-Sultan" is an Arabic title meaning "the Sultan," a term used for Muslim rulers. Salah al-Din: is the Arabic name of the historical figure known in the West as Saladin. He was a Kurdish Muslim who rose to prominence in the 12th century, becoming a major figure in the Islamic world and a significant opponent of the Crusader states. Salah al-Din was the first sultan of Egypt and Syria and the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. 1132: The year expressed in the Islamic calendar (Hijri or AH for Anno Hegirae) when this coin was minted. The Arabic script on the reverse '[I]ukhallid / mulkahu wa- / sultanahu[/I] translates to "May his kingdom and his sultanate be eternal". This phrase is often found on historical artifacts like coins, where it serves as a prayer or invocation for the longevity and prosperity of the ruler's reign. For example, the phrase appears on coins attributed to Sultan Salah al-Din of Sulawesi, Indonesia, dating back to the 18th century. Here's a breakdown: 'ukhallid: is a verb meaning "may (he/it) make eternal" or "may (he/it) perpetuate". It's a form of the verb "khallada" which means to make something eternal or to perpetuate. mulkahu: means "his kingdom". The word "mulk" refers to kingdom, dominion, or sovereignty. wa-: is a conjunction meaning "and". sultanahu: means "his sultanate". The word "sultan" is a title used by Muslim rulers. Joining both scripts: “Salah-al-Din the Sultan. May his kingdom and his sultanate be eternal" and the year is (AH) 1132 :)[/QUOTE]
