Caliphate of Cordoba

2 сообщений • просмотрено 58 раз
Hello all!

I have got a lot of islamic coins from a spanish seller. This one I'm pretty confident is from the Caliphate of Cordoba, and fairly confident it was minted under al-Hakam II, although not sure.

I am aware the marginal legends on these coins have a lot of info but I can't understand them. I was wondering if anyone could help out! In the next few days I'll surely be posting more  :)

Update: After looking more at my coins I am also fairly convinced I have 2 more from al-Hakam II.





I say that because of the elements adorning the top of the obverse and also the general shape of the characters in the reverse, where the monarch's name is (and I can't read arabic so I can't just read off the monarch). I also have this one I think is from Sulayman (EDIT: I'm now leaning more towards Hisham II).



Again my suspicion is due to the central legend of the reverse.

If anyone can confirm or refute my suspicions I would be very grateful  :D
