<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 3127938, member: 57364&quot;]On your right photo the second line of main text in the center gives the name of the caliph, &quot;al-Qadir bi&#039;llah&quot;. That&#039;s always handy to date the coin roughly as al-Qadir ruled between 991 and 1031AD.</p><p>I can&#039;t clearly read the name of the ruler on the coin. However, the lowest line on one side reads &quot;yamin al-dawla&quot; on the other side &quot;abu l&#039;Qasim &quot; These are some (of many) titles of Ghaznavid ruler Mahmud. He ruled 998-1030AD, nicely fitting with the reference to the caliph on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can not comment on value. I don&#039;t know much about this category. It is impossible to judge a coin like this from on a photo. Unfortunately there are a lot of fakes of these about.</p><p><br /></p><p>This thread might be better at home in the ancients category ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
