it could be all sort , Abbasid or later


the mintname is worn after that you can only read SANAT SEB WA .....
whiche means the date is ??6
i would guess from the style that the date is something like 1?6 or 2?6

its  certainly interesting as not a lot is know about islamic coinage (certainly a lot less than roman for example)

if you cant identify it properly (with date and mint) than is not really rare

Thank you. It's a pity that you can not tell what kind of coin. Maybe there is someone who will tell?

I dont completely understand what u are saying

do you mean you were told that the coin is a fake ?

in this case get the weight of the coin , it should be 2.9 grams
if it is a contemporary forgery it could be worth more than a genuine one
