<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 6436388, member: 74834&quot;]This is a common type of the same period, but also with a spectacular design.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1254652[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>AE fals Qarakhanids, 386 AH = 996 AD.

If you compare the top longer line in the centre of the right pictures of the Qarakhanid coins: this is all the same text, starting (from the right) with the word <i>Muhammad</i>. So near in time: between 996 and 1013 AD, all from the same dynasty, and so diverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1254658[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Qarakhanid fals.
