<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 2312634, member: 75482&quot;]The countermark on the second coin reads &quot;Gurkhan / Abu Sa&#039;id / &#039;azz al-Sultan&quot; and is attributed to the Timurid ruler Abu Sa&#039;id Gurkhan, 1451-1469 (not to be confused with the ilkhan Abu Sa&#039;id), Album 2417. The host coin is probably also Timurid. The obverse is the kalima surrounded by the names and epithets of the Rashidun (Abu Bakr, &#039;Uthman, &#039;Umar and &#039;Ali). The reverse should bear the sultan&#039;s name but it seems to have been largely obliterated by the countermark. I can read <i>zarb / al-sultan ... / khan wa ... / sultan ... / mulkahu wa sultanahu / sanat (</i>date<i>). </i>The date is very weak but along with the legible parts and general layout, the host type should be attributable by comparison with similar coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
