<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 2312595, member: 75482&quot;]Doug, on your first coin the obverse (left) bears a short form of the kalima, <i>la ilah illa Allah / Muhammad rassul / Allah</i> (&quot;There is no god but Allah. Muhammad is the apostle of Allah&quot;); between lines at center is <i>fi</i> <i>sanat </i>(&quot;in the year&quot;); at the lower left is the date 785 in numerals; in the margin (off flan) should be <i>zarb Samarqand</i> (&quot;was struck at Samarqand&quot;). The reverse (right) names Timur as <i>gurkhan </i>and cites his nominal Chaghatayid overlord, Suyurghatmish. The legend as transcribed by Album (SICA-9, 834-837) and transliterated by me is <i>Suyur- / -ghatmish yarlaghi amir / Timur gurkhan / agmanu.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
