Jim Delaney Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 6:51 pm I found this coin in a bucket of mixed tokens. It appears Islamic and made of silver. I paid about 5 cents for it so I think I got a good deal. Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 06:29 am The best match I've found so far, for style and for the unusual five-pointed cartouche, are the "post-reform" coins of Persian Ilkhanate ruler Ghazan Mahmud (AD 1293-1314). Explore this section of zeno.ru and you'll find many similar coins, though I haven't found an exact match. What's the size and weight? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
