worldnumis Pillar of the Community United States 731 Posts	Posted 10/07/2016 4:25 pm I've had this item for quite some time but could not fully ID it. It is a very thin silver coin about the size of a nickle, weighs 2.8 grams, and not fully struck. I have seen similar items on ebay attributed to the Ayyubid Dynasty. I am not even sure if I have the picture right side up. Are there any experts here that can attribute it? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 10/08/2016 09:54 am Sure it does looks like an Ayyubid coin to someone who knows nothing about these. And both images do seem upside down. See my earlier thread: https://goccf.com/t/269861 Nobody ID'ed these three but it was mentioned that the lack of the legends around the star-shaped ornament may make exact identification impossible. So it depends which parts of the inscription are still there - and whether you need ruler+mint+date or assigning the coins to a certain ruler is sufficient for you. Report this Post to the Staff

This is the only one I have and don't collect them. Thanks to all for your assistance. Report this Post to the Staff
