Veton Valued Member Spain 108 Posts	Posted 09/11/2020 10:49 am Hi, Check Iliya (Jerusalem) mint, it may be a Ummayyad caliphate fals, but the date is not fixed,(A.D. 697-750). Report this Post to the Staff
Oak Valued Member Brazil 117 Posts	Posted 09/14/2020 10:10 am There are apparently no inscriptions on the border. It will be an overstamp on a Byzantine 12 nummus (Alexandrine module)? Report this Post to the Staff
Veton Valued Member Spain 108 Posts	Posted 09/15/2020 07:22 am Maybe, but I think the border is worn out, central legends on both sides are coincident with Umayyad fals coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 09/17/2020 7:17 pm I believe your coin is an Umayyad fals of Hims. Though not legible on your coin the date should be 116h. https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=100125 Report this Post to the Staff

Oak Valued Member Brazil 117 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 08:39 am This coin has 2.45mm of trickness. The Stephen Album quotes: Egyptian post-reform fulus often share types used in Syria, but can be readily distinguished by their thickness, typically about 2.5-3mm, double that of the average Syrian piece, and by their dumpy fabric. They vary greatly in weight, but less so than their Byzantine-style predecessors. Most are typologically identical to the Syrian type #153. Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 10:25 am Type 153 does not have marginal inscriptions. The Egyptian coins are mostly very thick, following the tradition of Byzantine 12 nummia pieces struck at Alexandria. Report this Post to the Staff
