Wallet Valued Member Sweden 455 Posts	Posted 02/06/2025 03:59 am Hi! I need help to identify this coin. It says Samanids when I bought it but I can't find any similar. So it could something else. 2.85 gram. 22.5 x 25 mm. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34462 Posts	Posted 02/06/2025 06:52 am @wall, I struggle with these identifications too. Those decorative knots remind me of Ilkhanids though so perhaps this coin is a little later?

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 02/06/2025 10:09 am Did a Zeno search that was accidentally too narrow and found the right type anyway by accident Muzaffarids, Shah Shuja', 2 dinars, Shiraz mint, dated 772 AH (1370/1 AD). Exact match to Zeno 22174 (which is the coin I accidentally found). Looking forward to seeing it on the Walking Back With Dated Coins thread in two weeks or so Edited by january1may 02/06/2025 10:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
