Bacchus, thanks.

I tried to google to find what is Saminad AE fals. There is nothing in Nets. Maybe you can tell what does Saminad AE fals mean. What territory, period of time?

Bacchus, what are you reading on the coin that suggests it is Samanid?

Strelets, do you have any indication where the coin was found? I tend to think it's something other than Samanid, though it is a fals (the Arabic term for a copper coin from the Latin follis).

anteporcos, thanks!
I don't have any ideas where the coin from. I got it in Europe.
Thanks for useful information about Samanids. So, you think it's something other but what?
