Arabic(?) legend
« on: October 22, 2021, 09:32:46 am »
Dear friends!

On a small bag with little coins I got this inscription. I think it is Arabic. Anyone who can translate it for me?

Because I can't add pics to my posts here is the link https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=172729

Thanks in advance
Jochen

Have you tried Google Lens?  Free download on your smart phone - then you download the Arabic language package (also free) - then just point your phone camera over it and the translation comes up.

I have used it for Mandarin and Japanese with partial success but am not sure how it does with Arabic.

Hi Canaan!
I think you got it. And it makes sense, because in the bag were islamic coins.

Thank xou both!

Best regards
Jochen
