I had some time on my hands.

Harun al-Rashid (Life: AD 763-809 Reign: AD 786-809) was the caliph of the "Arabian Nights."
This coin has no mint name but was known to be minted in Baghdad.
On this coin he proclaims his son al-Amin to be his successor.

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
