Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 02/29/2020 1:25 pm @oriole, that old plug job adds a ton of character to this coin. I think that it might be a 14th Century Fals of the Bahri Mamluks (i.e. Album-935). I don't see an example on numista with those rosettes of six petals on both sides, but here is a link to an old vcoins auction with what I think you have: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/pa...Default.aspx "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
