AE Fals, 3.3 mm thick
« on: April 10, 2013, 04:16:48 pm »
I do not collect AE Fals, but this came in a Lot.

From the few I have bought, they were always of a thin flan, around 1 mm thick.
This one has a flan of around 3.3 mm thick, and I have not been able to find out any more information on it.

Obverse: لا الهَ اِلَّا اللّهُ وَحْدَه, within a triple border.
Reverse: محمّد رسول الله, within a border, verse outside it and another border.
Weight: 6.23 g, Dimensions: 18.5 x 20.8 x 3.3 mm

Masis,

Just out of curiosity where/how do you get the Arabic characters for your posts?

Is there a forum tool I don't know of?   Did you enter shukran bakr into some google engine?  Or do you have a special font set on your computer??
