Hi all,
I have this coin of Sulayman II or Suleiman II depending on the spelling of the source...
I think the seller's
identification is correct. However, I was hoping to get a
bit of an explanation of the where the date is, how to read it and what exactly the script says on the
reverse.
As with many descriptions accompanying coins... I can find the attributions and basic details but no exact reading of the
reverse script.
Also is there a
good web resource for coins of this
type? A specialist's site maybe... something beyond
acsearch and other
auction listings.
Thank you!
SELJUQ OF RUM: Sulayman II, 1196-1204, AE fals AH595,
A-1205.2, horseman right, with royal title al-sultan,
30 mm, 8.17 grams
PS: Although the green looks like it could be trending
bronze disease... it seems to be just stable mineral encrustations. Not powdery or flaky. The green is solid... could be old disease that has stabilized I suppose.
