<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KDD, post: 4110102, member: 110611&quot;]The symbol on the probably Islamic coin appears to be the Trishula symbol: an Indian equivalent of the trident. I&#039;ve seen a couple of coins with it referred to as the &#039;trishul&#039; or &#039;trisul&#039; symbol:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3151&amp;pos=77" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3151&amp;pos=77" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3151&amp;pos=77</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So I was right to assume trident, and it looks like the person who suggested it might be Indian is probably correct, IMO. The symbol is actual buddhist or Hindu, not Islamic, but I think it accompanies Islamic coins from India.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
