numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 12/06/2018 7:24 pm Found this in a recent batch. It appears to be in some unknown to me alphabet. Doesn't look like modern arabic or persian. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 10:56 am Thanks for the info. Found a website that verifies your assumption. I have been reading a book on the rise and fall of the Mongol empire. So far no mention of this (I am only in the part where Europe started to repel their advance). Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 8:53 pm Yes, Ilkhans (Mongols of Persia), Uljaytu. Inscriptions in Arabic. Mint and date will be difficult due to poor strike. Denomination depends on weight. Edited by Kushanshah 12/10/2018 12:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
AlRashid Valued Member Canada 167 Posts	Posted 12/10/2018 8:53 pm Yea its Uljaytu. Some of the ilkhan coins have mongolian writing on one side and arabic on other I have a gold coin of gaykhatu which has that feature. Is that something more rare for these coins? Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/11/2018 12:39 am Some are even inscribed in three languages: Arabic, Mongolian (Uighur) and Chinese (Paghspa). Not a basis for rarity but a factor of time and place. Report this Post to the Staff
