I recently acquired these three coins which I <i>think </i>might have been minted under the direction of sultan al-Hasan ibn Sulayman of Kilwa, but I cannot read Arabic and wanted to know if anyone might have an idea what they say. I've been reading some of the articles I've been able to find online (like Walker's "History and Coinage of the Sultans of Kilwa"), but I find my ability to attribute them can only go so far without being able to read the texts.
