smithersjones Valued Member United Kingdom 76 Posts	Posted 01/14/2010 04:40 am Here I have an Arabic coin with what seems to be a date of 1321 is this correct? The coin is perfectly round, surely perfectly round coins were not used in this period...were they?. I can say it looks Arabic (from the writing). It is about the size of a new 2 pence piece (British) Would weigh about the same as above also. Anyone I.D. this coin and maybe put a value to it and a possible grading please cheers Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not good on grading but Krauss (2010 edition) has it at Fine-$2 and VFine-$5. Maybe someone else has an opinion on the grade of yours. Report this Post to the Staff
