I checked usual online resources but couldn´t find any identical sample. Would you point me out in the right direction please? I suspected Seljuks of Rum, but I am really not sure. Thank you very much! Silver - 3 g - 23 mm Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/22/2023 6:26 pm It seems to be a very odd version of a Seljuqs of Rum "Three Brothers" dirham. The inscriptions are mostly legible but blundered, especially the reverse. The flan is unusually narrow. Contemporary imitation? Report this Post to the Staff
DirtyHarry Valued Member Germany 141 Posts	Posted 08/22/2023 8:26 pm Hi Kushanshah, thanks a lot, I think you may be right. I cannot read the inscriptions, but I compared the coin with genuine samples of the three brothers dirhams (online) and none really matched. I will search for contemporary imitations in zeno Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/23/2023 4:32 pm The obverse clearly names the three brothers: al-salatin... 'izz al-dunya wa al-din... wa rukn al-dunya wa al-din Qilij... wa 'ala al-dunya wa al-din Kai... ( ... ) The reverse is more blundered but semi-legible: Muhammad rassul Allah al-imam al-Mustansir (jibberish) amir al-mu'minin (jibbersh... date?)
