[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 2529740, member: 57364"]Nice specimen ! No time to fully transcribe both, but some hints. On Dougs the left shows the kalima. In margins are the names of the four righteous caliphs of Sunni Islam. In the left pic in the center is no straight forward arab. Could be spiral Kufic, which is more difficult to read. On the left of the square from top to bottom reads "al Sultan al azam". Date at top. Chrsmats looks central asian, possibly qarakhanid. The word at the bottom in the central square in the right pic reads "khaqan".[/QUOTE]
