Hi!

This nice dirham silver coin is 2.83g, 27mm.
It looks like an Abbasid or Qarakhanid one. Unfortunately I don't know how to read this coin so I'd appreciate any help related with dating this coin (maybe someone could provide a link that could help me how to learn dating these kind of coins?) and finding out the ruler.

Aaaaah, I found the origin, so it's Umayyad dirham :)
Unfortunately I can't determine the ruler or specific period. The second dirham that I'm trying to decipher is probably found but this one is a tougher cookie.

The Zenu doesn't help as there is 1000+ results and when I try to filter by weight / size the results are..... 6 pages of Chinese cash coins.... so it's seems to be some kind of technical problem.
