Researching Fatimid Dinar [решено]

5 сообщений • просмотрено 101 раз
Hello people of Numista! I am a university student currently doing some research into Islamic coinage, and I was hoping I could get some help from this community. I'm currently looking into this Fatimid Dinar allegedly from the reign of Al-Aziz Billah:





I'm more of a historian and less of a numismatist, so I know the general story about this kind of coin, that the inscriptions are Arabic in a Kufic script, that this may be an imitation coin, etc. I was wondering if anyone here can read the inscription, or confirm whether this is an imitation or not.

Any information is much appreciated!
Hello welcome abord :8D
Higher picture definition might be suitable, you provide diameter then precise weight might help.

What's the meaning of 2189/507 ?

Apologies, the coin is actually in a museum collection right now, so I don't have the weight, but I will work on acquiring that information!

The diameter is 2.163 cm. The number on the coin is from the museum, just for organizational purposes.

These are the best images I have for now, I will also see if I can get better resolution pictures.



Thanks!
No need. Most of these coins have already been deciphered. See the Ashmolean Museum collection for the legends:

Search and find your type of coin and look for the legends...
