<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blasty, post: 1498036, member: 38375&quot;]I have a small, Egyptian silver coin with similar features. I believe the ornate inscription at the center of the reverse is the signature of the reigning sultan at the time. On my coin, the date consists of two parts: The year when the sultan&#039;s reign began, and the number of years later that the coin was actually minted. They used a different calendar system than ours, so once you have the date it needs to be converted. I simply found a table of Arabic characters to date mine, I forget where I found the conversion from their calendar to ours.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know anything else about it, and I can&#039;t make out all the characters from the picture. Hopefully someone else can help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
