This coin seems to hold a lot of silver. On the reverse, I see a person seated left on a shield?, left hand on a bow, maybe holding an arrow in the right had.
It is a serratus coin as you see.
The name of the king could not be read, but I can check candidate names.
It's not in an area I know much about, but it does seem to me on a second look that this shows Apollo, sitting on an omphalos with a bow resting on the ground, the Seleucid type that inspires the massive series of Parthian drachms. There were a couple of Seleucid kings called Alexander, but again, really not my area so I can't give any certainty.
Je pense que c'est une monnaie marocaine… ALM avait parlé de sheddah il y a longtemps…
Savez-vous ce que c'est ? Malheureusement, c'est une ruine proche de mon tas de monnaies de rien du tout…
Please open a separate thread for this one. It is completely unrelated to your previous coin.
And with a separate thread there are more chances of someone with knowledge on islamis coins to view it and help you, than leaving it here on a thread about an ancient coin.
Back to the matter, thanks for the compliment.
I am not an expert but I know one place or two to do a search.
And I like this area of ancient coins because there's always something new to learn.
It could be bronze. At that time, the bronze could contain some metal that gives that shiny look. It looks selverish, but it could be due to many reasons.
I believe you have found the right ID… Thanhks a lot.
And you make me discove this great web site… Thanks
