Islamic/Samanid Coin

Good day,

I bought this coin without a catalog #, but identified as a fals of Mansur I from Bukhara dated 352-357. It is just about exactly 21mm and 1.50g.

Based on this, I used Stephen Album's Checklist of Islamic Coins (freely available as a .pdf released by the author!) and determined that this description best fits A#1471.1, described as being "Nearly all with diameter 21-22mm", struck in Bukhara in 352-357.

However, our page for A#1471 describes the coin as nearly 26mm, 4g, and most problematically, the image does not match my coin; my coin has four lines of text on the obverse, the one pictured has three. Granted, Album mentions 1471.3, described as a broad flan issue 25-30mm, so maybe the page describes that coin. But what about the different text? Any advice welcome.

Giving this one more shot in case anyone can offer even a tidbit of information. Even just knowing a text translation would be very useful.

Did you mean to link to the A# 1467 coin?

Looks closer to this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces43678.html

Hmm. I am putting on years, but I feel pretty confident that when I posted this, we had an entry identified as A#1471 (searching for this no longer turns up anything), and I believe I linked to it, because the dimensions on that page are the same as what I described as conflicting with Album's own description.

The fact that no coin is now described as A#1471 suggests that perhaps the page I linked to was a misidentification to begin with - now corrected, and my coin could indeed be A#1471. It is also compelling to me that the gold coin you linked does have nearly identical text, suggesting mine is probably a Mansur I.

Thanks, I actually would not have clicked that link again in who knows how long and noticed the changes to the page, which may explain it all.
