Sorry bud, but I'm sticking to Indo, and Satraps, These are complex enough. LOL I could well emagine how my mind would explode if I had to study Arabic. Anyhow I like the Rupies and I might pick-up one or two of the larger silvers sometime.

Once youll start you will never stop! <insert long maniacal laugh here> Having said that, im stopping for this year to get a handle on my Roman and medieval collctions.

Im selling a bunch of large silvers cheap in a day or two, chance to pick up a bargain.

I found this coin in Spain. The contrast is not good but have you any idea of the inscription.

My software is giving me trouble and I couldn't stitch both images togetherso will have to post separately.

They may be upsside down and don't know which is front and back.

For those who collect islamic coins a proposal...
Can you start to teach how to read an islamic coin? how to understand by who it was minted, for example using some pics to identify the words.
Just an idea

Reading Islamic coins is not such an easy job but hey,I don't want to discourage you

I can't read them either,but learning it seems quite a nice challenge!

On topic:I also collect a kind of Islamic coins-Golden Horde and related issues from the N Dobroudja (Romania).Very interesting field.Check this out for some unusual coins of this kind:

I have only one islamic coin (posted in March 03). The scans are poor and dark but I found the second image apparently reads There is no diety
(except)
God alone
has no equal

It apparently is a Umayyad coin from Andalusia. The obverse is the second image. I couldn't match the reverse. The image is sideways. I found the information at
http://islamiccoins.ancients.info/spain/abdalrahman1.htm

Hey Nassif

Whats your area of collecting by the way. I have seen your website and gather all the coins on offer are not your areas. Am I right?

Burak

Nassif · « **Reply #22 on:** December 01, 2005, 09:08:52 am »

Hi Burak;
I don't have very specific area of interest;i like all ancient coins in all periods...but because arabic is my maternal language,it's fun to read islamic coins...we discover a lot of things.
regards
