<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 8183719, member: 75482"]You seem to be confusing AH and AD dates. AH 301 to 421 equals AD 913 to 1030. That said, the multiple dirhams of the dynasties you mention tend to be stylistically very similar. The only sure way to attribute medieval Islamic coins is to read the inscriptions which typically (but not always) include ruler, mint and date. Unfortunately, the inscriptions on the coin above are muddled due to the strike. The mint name and ruler might be worked out with some effort.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
