I came across this topic and your comments made me believe you can help with the coin, which supposedly belongs to the Golden Horde era. It was recently found in Ukraine together with three fragments of silver dirhams. However, the coin could be a local imitation with the fake legend. Would you please take a look? I'm very sorry for the poor quality of the photo - this is all I got from the seller so far. Report this Post to the Staff

Alex_Da New Member Ukraine 14 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 05:42 am @Kushanshah Thanks a lot! This database looks familiar to me. Let me take a closer look. To date, I found no exact match. Bearing in mind that plenty of local imitations - mostly of Jani Beg Khan silver coins - are known in Ukraine, I assumed the legend was fake. But I don't read Arabic. When you say I'm probably right, do you mean there are no actual words or even letters on the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/14/2020 4:03 pm I can't make any sense of the inscriptions but given the style, fabric and location, a local imitation of a coin of the Golden Horde is as good a guess as any. Report this Post to the Staff
