Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 05/11/2018 09:49 am This bronze coin weighs 2.10 mm and has a diameter of 19 mm. I believe from the inscription and general design it is probably Ayyubid or Abbasid, though there could be other possibilities. The coin has a hexalobe pattern surrounding the inscriptions on both sides. After looking at a lot of pictures I haven't found a match for the inscriptions, but noticed that most of the coins listed in Zeno with hexalobe patterns on both sides were produced by the Ayyubid Main Line Sultans in Cairo, Al-Adil Abu Bakr I (Sayf Al Ain), AH 592-615 (AD 1196-1219). I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable on Islamic coins (and perhaps able to read the inscriptions) can confirm or correct this tentative attribution. Thank you for any help you can offer!
