Doctorwho2485 Valued Member New Zealand 292 Posts	Posted 10/27/2016 10:14 pm Thanks Spence but I've only got a cellphone camera When was the Omayyad Dynasty? I'm still new to the field of Islamic coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is more info from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umayyad_Caliphate My latest post on this thread has an example of a typical dirham: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...195985#65533; If you search CCF on the keyword Umayyad, you can look at examples of members' posts from the past several years. @sap does a great job of explaining the kufic text here: http://goccf.com/t/27698 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Doctorwho2485 Valued Member New Zealand 292 Posts	Posted 10/27/2016 11:34 pm It's got the feel of one e.g. Arabic letters maybe I don't that's all Report this Post to the Staff
Doctorwho2485 Valued Member New Zealand 292 Posts	Posted 10/27/2016 11:38 pm I don't know that's all maybe it's really damaged coin of something else. Looks like someone used a steel kitchen brush to it Report this Post to the Staff

First thing I thought of was a prutah of Herod, sort of like: But that's a real stretch, and no more likely than Umayyad. It's just too far gone, I'm afraid, and it's one of those situations where each of us may see different things, with no way of verifying. Report this Post to the Staff
