Searching online has gotten me two leads: Either Umayyad or Delhi Sultanate - any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

That spells "allah" (or in English: The God) I cant make out the rest but it might be the shahada (declaration of faith). I am thinking Ummyadd for sure. If a moderator could move it to http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...?FORUM_ID=51 You might get more responses. (That is the ancient and medieval coin forum by the way) Report this Post to the Staff
mbisc New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/26/2015 6:57 pm Thanks -- maybe I should try to get a better picture of it. I definitely saw the "allah" part (about the only Arabic I can make out - don't know Arabic, but it is common on Muslim monuments). Report this Post to the Staff

Does this look right? #1604;#1575; #1573;#1604;#1607; #1573;#1604;#1575; #1575;#1604;#1604;#1607; #1605;#1581;#1605;#1583; #1585;#1587;#1608;#1604; #1575;#1604;#1604;#1607; On a side note feel free to introduce yourself here if you plan on sticking around and collecting coins. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...?FORUM_ID=56 That is the "Introduce Yourself" forum.

mbisc New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 10:46 am Thanks! Yeah, it is easier to see "in person" -- one of the things I need to do (with a magnifying glass) is check the characters outside of the circle. Yesterday, I saw online some photos of coins from the Delhi Sultanate, with the unique feature that the characters outside of the circle were in Devanagari, not Arabic... BTW, what's "#1604;#1575; #1573..." - does my web browser needs some special encoding to see them as special characters? Report this Post to the Staff
