<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4578542, member: 110226&quot;]Thank you.&nbsp; I&#039;ll see if I can locate a copy of this book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s one more coin, one that has been posted before a couple of times.&nbsp; I believe it is also from the Levant.&nbsp; It is, I think, a fourée core, with specks of silver plating still adhering.&nbsp; It also came to me from the sell from Israel, and it was completely thickly encrusted.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been slowly cleaning the coin with distilled water and wooden toothpicks (gone through a box almost).&nbsp; It&#039;s a work in progress and here&#039;s what I have so far. The coin weighs 12.6 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>I notice that this coin has a squarish flan, very similar to other examples posted on this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1133694[/ATTACH] An interesting aspect of this coin is an apparent facing figure, left arm raised, with a headdress(?) on the obverse. I do not believe this figure to be a counterstamp, rather it is part of the coin&#039;s original design.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a somewhat older image, and the design is a little clearer now, but I don&#039;t have the coin for a re-shoot.&nbsp; Once I get it back I&#039;ll take some more pics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
