Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/24/2016 4:42 pm This little bugger has been haunting my backlog since I first started. It seems to fit into the "Arabic" field of influence, but I haven't come across anything even remotely similar in any of my forays into the unknown. I could use some help! 14mm 2.75g Obverse: Two characters within circle, surrounded by Arabic? Reverse: Wheel divided into 6 segments, six pointed star within each segment. Dots around wheel.

Valentine's "Modern Copper Coins of the Muhammadan States." See the link (coin #57, pp. 16 and 17), and the detail of the book illustration below. https://archive.org/stream/modernco.../16/mode/2up And an illustration from http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces65359.html Edited by Kamnaskires 08/24/2016 8:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
