Help with Islamic fals?
« on: May 25, 2012, 12:28:51 pm »
Hi, can anyone help me with this, presumably an Islamic fals (AE 19, 1.63 g)? I bought it in a mixed lot of mostly ancient coins from a gentleman at the numismatic flea market in Madrid. He said that it was "Hispano-Arabe".
Thanks!
Francis

i think its a Umayyad fulus ca 80-120AH

you are very unlucky because date and mint should be on the coin but in your case you can only read the beginning of the legend

BISMILLAH DURIBA HADA and not the rest
