Golden Horde? Islamic? Help needed

[dpaul7]

Hi all -

Just bought this piece... not yet in hand.. It was advertised as an "Interesting Golden Horde" coin.  Can anybody give ANY type of identification on this one?

Hi

This seems to be a Juchid AE Pul from the lower Volga region.
Best would be if you searched here

Thanks, Burak!

I have searched Low Volga as you suggested, on ZENO, of which I am a member. I am unable to make a match... but that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I'm too stupid to read the Arabic script!

But to me, the style does indeed suggest Golden Horde origins!  The coins are fascinating from that region... I enjoyed looking at the Zeno pages. I think the reason I bought it was just to have a Mongol Horde coin!

The Ottoman coins are much easier for me!

Again, many thanks for your help!
