On the other side : Mint of Mashad and names in circles are Mohammed,Ali,Fatima,Hassan,Hussain,Ali,Mohammed It does not bear the word Fulus as these types of coins do. Is it a coin or medal or what ?

Coinsman A New Member Bahrain 10 Posts	Posted 05/14/2020 2:02 pm Hi There, Thanks for the inputs, I just check under the name there is a little bit disfigured date 1250,which is the last year of his rule. It is a heavy one at 18.5g the only coins closed to this weight are : A2886 AR 2 riyals (18.42g), type D RRR Struck only for presentation. U2893 AR 2 riyals (18.42g), type E, struck only at Mashhad 1246, mint & date on both sides, names of the Twelve Imams in the reverse margin RRR "Stephen Album, Checklist of Islamic Coins, 3rd edition, PAGE 293" Still a puzzle piece Report this Post to the Staff
Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 05/14/2020 2:41 pm It is pretty close in size and weight to a falus https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...at=y&ct=coin I'm not an expert in Islamic coins but maybe it's a pattern? Or a bullion round? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinsman A New Member Bahrain 10 Posts	Posted 05/14/2020 3:33 pm Yes ,you are right there are some civic copper at that range of weight. I checked my catalog "Bahrahm Alaedinin,Persian copper coins ,form Safavids to Qajars" ,but no similar coin or even close . The only close one is the show one shown in your previous link of the gold coins. It can be a pattern or a bullion round who knows Thanks again for the help Report this Post to the Staff
