Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/16/2020 7:55 pm @alex, are the two surfaces not pictured completely slick? If there are remnants of the inscriptions on those surfaces, can you please add pics of them to this thread? Thx.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 8:19 pm Ok yikes that was what I feared--these surfaces are worn to almost no remaining detail. Sorry but this one is beyond my powers of identification. Hopefully, someone else can lead the way with helping you.

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 10:31 pm https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces81323.html Perhaps something like this, but I feel that the "one" and a little bit of the first of the second batch of pictures are counterstamps.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/18/2020 05:08 am Assuming the find spot is Ukraine, my first thought is Samanid or perhaps 'Abbasid. Report this Post to the Staff
Alex_Da New Member Ukraine 14 Posts	Posted 12/18/2020 05:36 am @Kushanshah that's right, this coin was found in Ukraine together with the local imitation of Juchid dang, which you've helped me to identify. Do you think, it's possible to identify this Samanid or perhaps 'Abbasid dirham more precisely, at least to the century? Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/20/2020 05:53 am Because it appears to be "standard" format with double marginal legend on one side, I'd say roughly 10th-12th century, pre-Mongol. The mint and date would be in the inner margin on the double margin side. I doubt anything useful can be read. Edited by Kushanshah 12/20/2020 05:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
