<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2344975, member: 74834&quot;]I believe this is an Abbasid dinar from the 10th century AD, yes, an Islamic coin full of theological formulas / prayers. It might be from the area that&#039;s now Iraq, but the Abbasid Caliphate had 50 or 100 mints, it was a vast empire. On a coin of this quality, the year and mint surely are easy to find. I have a book about this (by Richard Plant), but you need only a few pages of it to read the date and mint. I think, too, that it&#039;s a very desirable coin for its excellent condition and beautiful calligraphy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
