Unidentified Islamic Coin?
« on: December 05, 2021, 06:59:28 pm »
2.91g, 14.9mm
There are many coins of Jannaeus with stars.  I cannot identify the other design. Does not look like a cornucopia or double.
Thank you for helping.

I don't think this is a Judaean coin.  Looks like it is Islamic

Thank you, SC.
I have no references on Islamic coins.  Can you point me to something?

It is unfortunately an extremely wide area of numismatics.

Your best bet might be to change the title to something like Unidentified Islamic Coin or repost under the Islamic coins section.

Sold as a coin of Herod the Great, but probably Islamic.
Hope you can help ID this coin.

Or i could have moved this topic to Islamic coins section and changed the topic on behalf of Paul, then we wouldn´t have two identicle posts and could keep the responses already given.  ::)

I will go ahead and merge the topics.

P.S Could the moderator please remove the duplicate post with images, it might make for an easier read ?

This is more likely an Ottoman ornamental coin.
