numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 1:12 pm REVISED TO CORRECT IMAGE This is made of copper 26.6x19.9mm, 1.5mm thich and weighs 3.07 grams. The obverse looks like it has part of a shield with two Ns to the left. The reverse has a figure of what looks like a man holding a long cross in his left hand. Anyone recognize this?

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2895 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 1:42 pm I always find these Arab - Byzantine coins tricky to nail down. The mint should be under the "M" what you have as the obverse (and upside down). Unfortunately I think this one is too far gone to get much further - unless someone recognises it by style.

numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 1:53 pm Thanks. I reversed the part that was upside down. I had not even heard of these Arab-Byzantine coins. Many thanks for the tip and info! Report this Post to the Staff

I believe it might be Sear 1000. Report this Post to the Staff
