Neil666 Valued Member India 56 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 07:07 am Hello, I've recently come into possession of this coin. It seems like it belongs to the Mongols. I'd be grateful if anybody could identify the ruler and the denomination. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 3:45 pm Ilkhans, Abu Sa'id, 1316-1335, Madinat Hamadan mint, date probably AH 717. Denomination depends on weight but since it looks quite large, it must be 6-dirhams (11.88gm), type B, Album 2195(R). Edited by Kushanshah 11/03/2020 3:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Neil666 Valued Member India 56 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 5:15 pm Apologies for not mentioning the weight. It is 3.8 grams. The coin is really thin. So I'm assuming it is a double dirham. Report this Post to the Staff
Neil666 Valued Member India 56 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 5:20 pm On second thought, it doesn't match with the Abu said double dirhams that I see here or on numista or elsewhere for that matter Edited by Neil666 11/03/2020 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 11/03/2020 6:40 pm The 2-dirhams is Album 2196. There are many types for Abu Sa'id. Yours is type B (pointed octogon/ pointed hexagon). Abu Sa'id struck coins at more than 150 mints. As you might imagine, there is considerable variation.
