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

Your coin is Morocco 5 mazunas, struck in Birmingham Y#16.1
The date is right: 1321 AH (Anno Hegira) is equivalent to 1903 AD

Hi smithersjones

From one Brit to another. Bart was spot on. Minted in Paris. 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.
