Title: Zangid coin????? Post by: dpaul7 on December 01, 2006, 07:01:41 pm Hello!
I am attaching a scan of a coin I believe might be Zangid. (It looks similar to another one I have). Sadly, I am a total dunce when it comes to these coins... I am trying to learn what to look for, etc. Any help is appreciated! dpaul7 Title: Re: Zangid coin????? Post by: Manzikert on December 02, 2006, 03:07:17 pm Hi dpaul7
It is Ayyubid, Al-Aziz Uthman (585-589 H/ 1193-1199 AD) Damascus, probably 594 H/ 1198 AD, Balog 222 Best wishes Alan Title: Re: Zangid coin????? Post by: dpaul7 on December 02, 2006, 04:22:33 pm Alan --
Many thanks! Now that the coin is ID'd - I can see comparable issues online! The Islamic coins I have posted came in a lot of "uncleaned coins of the Holy Land". I've sort of gotten turned off to those types of lots.... at least until I learn more! Again, many, many thanks for your sharing! dpaul7 |
