I bought an interesting Islamic AR which measures 20.23 mm  and weighs approximately 2.46g.  It has six pointed stars on both the obverse and the reverse with an arch over it.   Bakkar helpfully said on the identification board that the obverse reads  in the name of " Al Fateh Khan".  There was a ruler named Fateh Khan who issued coins  under the Dehli Sultanate.  It appears more Ilkhanid or Persian in style to me.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Pogh_poor

I count 8 points on the stars.

I believe that I have now identified it is a dirhem of Suleiman II, Morocco, KM C 108b.2,  Album 622. Year AH 1220 (1806)  Pogh_poor
