VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 2:04 pm An interesting and varied Islamic collection so far Bacchus! Very nice! Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2889 Posts	Posted 05/20/2015 3:08 pm Thanks - as a young person I liked the challenge of the coins with the "squiggly writing" and no one else wanted them then - so I managed to get quite a few cheaply. Like everything else they have shot up in price a lot recently.

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 10:38 pm Here's a few of mine. Local cast coinage, Southwestern Syria-Palestine area. Most likely late 600's - mid 700's AD. This is a varied series that has not been adequately catalogued. Mostly private issues which persisted even after the two coinage reforms of the Umayyads. Report this Post to the Staff
