Title: Silver Islamic help requested
Post by: dpaul7 on November 14, 2007, 06:31:01 pm

Hi!

I'm lost on these issues - this was a birthday gift from a friend - Can anyone identify area/era?  Coin is about 9.3 mm; apparently silver.

MANY thanks for all your help!

Many thanks, Manzikert!

I am happy we have people like you who know these coins! 
My friend sent me a very nice gift, indeed!  :laugh:
