Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 03/02/2020 8:42 pm I bought a group of four "Unattributed Hammered Ancient Islamic AE Fals Coins", and once again I'm right out of my comfort zone. The smallest one is copper in appearance, approximately 10mm x 9mm, and 3mm thick, weighing 2.2 gr. The edge is very uneven, so I am wondering if it is a coin, or a fragment? Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 03/03/2020 1:05 pm Thank you @Kushanshah. I would never have found it. I think I have found a close match for the second coin below. Al Mansur Muhammad II. Ayyubid Sultanate (Hamah, Emirate of). Years 642-683H = 1244-1284. AE Fals (1/60 Dinar). 21mm x 16mm. Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 03/03/2020 4:15 pm The legible part of the second coin reads al-malik / al-Salih. You are in the right time frame and region. My first thought is Mamluks but there are several possible al-Salihs. Report this Post to the Staff
Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 03/03/2020 10:36 pm Thank you again @Kushanshah. I'm glad to hear that I was heading in the right direction. It is great to have the correct information on a coin that has so little visible legend. Report this Post to the Staff
Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 7:22 pm Even though there is very little detail on this coin, I thought I could find something like it because of the star border. I did find many coins with a six pointed star, but this one appears to have an eight pointed star. I didn't find anything even remotely similar. Does anyone recognise it?

Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1168 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 12:43 pm The last of the four coins, and I can't find anything like it either. It is 18 x 16 mm. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff
