| I did a brief search and found several sources claiming Suban minted his own coins but nothing with any actual meat on it. During Suban's rule Wadai was a Islamic state, so if they are marked(identifiable) they will likely have the sultan's name or the cities name on them, but I cannot find them. So maybe they are just listed as anonymous issues somewhere. |

| This coin is likely from Spain, That castle looks odd though, would you please weigh the coin? While usually not conclusive in these coins, it may help lead us to a denomination. Also pictures without the plastic in the way would also be helpful. |

How is that done?
What program are you using for image editing? The steps to do it will be different per program, but I will happily find you instructions for whatever you are using. Usually there are layer settings and you can change the alpha value(opacity) of each layer(individual picture). |

Rapid identification of World coins for beginning collectors would be possible if a large enough data base was created.
That's pretty much how the coin scope app works, though it is not persice enough for varieties or authentication. It wouldn't do well on ancients either.

May I ask how you do an overlay so that you can see both images at once? You would have to change the images opacity. |
