Diameter approx 23mm, weight 5.5g and 5.6g Thanks Brian. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 02/02/2020 5:03 pm They purport to be 'Abbasid dirhams of Madinat al-Salam dated AH 160. Unfortunately, they are modern cast fakes. They are too perfectly identical to be genuine hand-struck medieval coins. Edited by Kushanshah 02/02/2020 5:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
