Baybars?
« on: September 11, 2006, 03:43:08 pm »
Greetings!

This has dropped off the front page of the identification help section, so apologies for duplicating the request if people have already seen it there.

This was sold as a coin of Baybars 1.  But, no lion, which I understand was his symbol.  Can anyone ID this accurately, please?  (And which is the obverse?)

23mm, 2.9g.

Thanks.

Yes, it is Ayyubid and matchs Balog 296, Al-'Adil I (596-615 AH), minted at Damascus in 608 AH.
