Umayyad Fals
« on: November 10, 2005, 12:41:35 pm »
Hi all,

Please help me to identify this 18 mm umayyad fals. By the palm trees I can suppose that it minted in jund Filistin (Al-Ramla mint?).

Thanks,

Hi

This is Album #A161. The "branches" or tree coin. This coin does not bear a mint or a date. It is an anonymous Umayyad AE fals from the Syria-Palestine region. The coin is known to be rare but this one is in a bad condition.

Best wishes,
Burak
