Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/18/2014 9:26 pm Thanks for reviving this topic 'AncientNoob', might have to dig a few fitting ones up. You got any of the Zangids? Somehow their coins have a special appeal for me, being the earliest to 'violate' the cherished belief not to put images of persons on coins (if one ignores the very early arab-byzantine series).

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/21/2014 07:55 am Yes, thanks for reviving this topic 'Ancientnoob' and showing those beautiful coins. While I do not have a coin from Genghis Khan, I can add some contemporaries. First a small copper coin matching to your huge silver (not sure how many of those would have equaled one of yours): AE Small Fals from 'Ala al din Mohammed ibn Tekesh, minted in East Afghanistan - Mitchiner#926 Report this Post to the Staff
