Anzelmas Valued Member Sweden 171 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 05:42 am Hi, m8s! I have several dozen similar coins. Most of them are copper, some silver or silver plated. They are poorly minted, it is difficult to recognize what is on the coin. I posted the photos of the coins on several forums, but got no help with identification Maybe here one of them can be identificated. Or maybe somebody can give me a link to the oriental numismatic site? Silver Diameter 10 mm Weight 0.69 g Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe a Mamluk Dirham like this https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=250322 Someone like @Kushanshah might know. The main website for oriental coins is Zeno.ru, but you have to look at a lot of coins! Edited by JohnConduitt 06/10/2022 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 5:31 pm I agree, a Mamluk fractional dirham. Because they are struck from dies intended for the full dirham, only a small portion of the design is visible on any given coin. Sometimes a few letters is enough to identify the sultan, other times not. Edited by Kushanshah 06/10/2022 5:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
