interesting item... needs to be researched. I think it is not a coin but a token... Good find. Frank.

Hi Tanit

It is an Umayyad Fals, c.120 H, but without mint or date.

As I said in my reply to your 'Islamic 1', unfortunately I have only a photocopy of the plates to Walker's catalogue of these, and this one doesn't seem to be in those. I haven't yet received the SNAT volume which covers these, but when I do I will try and give a better reference for it.

Best wishes

Alan
