Hi everyone, I just picked this one up today, and I'm not 100% sure as to the ID. The dealer thought that it might be Ayybid, but I want some more opinions if possible. Thanks!

It looks like you've got a 641AH Syrian Ayyubid, from the Damascus Mint.

I'm definitely no expert though, so I may be wrong.

Here's a page with some more information on the coin if you're interested: http://mehmeteti.150m.com/ayyubids/502.htm

Great find!

Nic O- Thanks! That really helps!

It did strike me as being a rather uncommon coin. But I do hope that $35 was not too much for this piece.

$35 is actually right on the money (pun intended).

Glad I could help!
