TTerrier New Member Canada 22 Posts	Posted 03/17/2019 8:05 pm I think this is a small (12mm 1.99g) Umayyad fals but the inscriptions seem a bit unusual. The first image seems to have the "standard" reverse inscription for the plain Umayyad coins "Muhammad rasul Allah". The other side normally would have some excerpt from the Kalima along the lines of "There is no God but Allah ..." The coin is in rough condition making this side hard to read but it doesn't look like the standard obverse. The bottom line seems to be Damascus? I can't decipher the top two lines. Amy help is much appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Hopefully, he will weigh in soon enough with his thoughts on your coin.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 03/19/2019 02:38 am I'm at a loss. A sharper photo of the obverse, or several with different lighting, might help. Report this Post to the Staff
TTerrier New Member Canada 22 Posts	Posted 03/19/2019 11:01 am Thanks guys I will try to get some better pictures of the obverse. The surface is covered with tiny pits which makes it appear a uniform color. Side lighting didn't seem to help much but I will try again tonight. Report this Post to the Staff
