Hi, My friend found this when buying a coin lot at an auction. He doesn't know much about ancient/medieval coins, so he wanted some help IDing this coin. It appears to be a gold dinar, but I'm not sure about the date. Could someone please give me so more specific details, authenticity and approximate value? It weighs 4.26 grams. Thanks in advance!
your coin looks a lot like this coin on Ebay. link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/786-809-AD-...145330?hash=item33bc2925b2:g:yesAAOSw-itXtkoD not sure if it's the same ?
