<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 5241424, member: 102653&quot;]I just received this Abbasid AE fals a couple weeks ago and had to have help identifying it, but the coin was issued under an Abbasid governor of al-Jazira (Mesopotamia) that is not known besides his coin issues. Even with his coins, he only issued one type of copper that is actually quite common in addition to some rare silver dirhams with his name. I think this is quite common with some of the more obscure Arabic coins as they list local rulers. I may have some of this wrong, though, I&#039;m still studying these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1217844[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">Abbasid Caliphate</p> <p style="text-align: center">c. 747 - 767 AD (c. 130s-140s AH)</p> <p style="text-align: center">Issued under al-&#039;Abbas b.
