I Mustard Mitt Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi, I recently bought an antique sideboard and whilst cleaning it I found (trapped at the back) this coin: http://uk.geocities.com/old_perculier/coinside1_1.jpg and the other side: http://uk.geocities.com/old_perculier/coinside2_2.jpg The coin itself is of 18.5mm dia and made of hammered silver though I can't tell what way up it should be, so I apologise if you crick you neck looking at the pictures. I assume the writing to be Arabic. Any help would be greatly appreciated - Thanks in advance I,MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
