DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/25/2011 9:41 pm Wow...you found that first coin in Ireland? It's a very old Islamic coin, perhaps 700 years old. It must have had an interesting journey. The second coin may be British, very old too. Sorry I cannot be more specific, I hope get some detailed information soon! Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/26/2011 12:12 am I could be off, but it looks a bit like this coin, an Abbasid al-Muqtadir AH303, Arrajan mint, AR dirham 2.85grms, 29mm VF Abbasid al-Muqtadir was the Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad from 908 AD to 932 AD (295 AH - 320 AH).

There's a nice clear "W" on the obverse at 4 o'clock on your pic, so it has to be in the name of a king Edward. The mint name on the back reads "VILL...VLM", or something similar; Durham during the reign of Edward III is the best match I've found for it so far. There's also a tiny "X" below the "I" in "VIL", which should help identify it. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
