Title: Small Silver Islamic Coin ID Needed
Post by: abcoin on March 25, 2011, 10:34:53 pm

Hi everyone.  I got this coin in a lot of small silver coins from the middle east.  Any ideas on an attribution for this one?  Also, any website or book recommendations for attributing these types of coins?  14mm maximum diameter, 0.65 grams
