Neil666 Valued Member India 56 Posts	Posted 11/08/2020 02:36 am Hello everybody. Attaching a few pictures of this coin which is claimed to belong to the Iranian Safavid dynasty. Require an input on the veracity of that claim, and the ruler and date, if possible. 21 mm, 5.1g Report this Post to the Staff

owatchman Pillar of the Community United States 1494 Posts	Posted 11/09/2020 04:11 am There are a couple experts here on CCF for this type of coin. Hopefully they'll see your post. But until then, you might look through Numista's site on Safhavid coins. Here's a link: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...&wi=&sw=&p=7 Report this Post to the Staff
mohammadaak Valued Member United Arab Emirates 79 Posts	Posted 11/09/2020 07:48 am Not a Safavid piece. Aq Qoyunlu dynasty Ruler: Abu Al-Muzaffar Ya'qub (1478-1490 CE) Denomination: Tanka Date: Post-reform type, minted AH 890-896 Mint seems to be off-flan but someone might help with that. Reference: A-2522 (Checklist of Islamic Coins, Stephen Album) The reverse carries an interesting central legend, verse 7 from chapter 99 (Al-Zalzalah) in the Qur'an: "faman ya'mal mithqala tharratin khayran yarah" ("So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it.")

mohammadaak Valued Member United Arab Emirates 79 Posts	Posted 11/09/2020 10:53 am Thank you Seeker, the coin you linked seems to have another reverse type. In the coin above, the reverse center has the phrase "khallada Allahu mulkahu" ("May Allah eternalize his reign"). This does not seem to be the case for the Zeno example.
