Helllo to the community.
I recently got a pair of dirhems without any identification. I canĀ“t read arabic but for the style I think they are from the Umayyads of Spain. Someone told me they could be Baltic imitations of Samanid coins but at least the most crude one looks like Umayyad.

These days I've been trying to read the mints and dates with the Plant book but it's quite hard. It looks to me that the date of the first coin starts with "200" and ends with "7" but the middle number is partially out of flan. No clue about the mint and ruler.

I will apreciate any help for the correct identification of this coins.
Thanks a lot and all the best.
