willieboyd2 Valued Member United States 494 Posts	Posted 11/27/2024 12:59 am I had some time on my hands. Harun al-Rashid (Life: AD 763-809 Reign: AD 786-809) was the caliph of the "Arabian Nights." This coin has no mint name but was known to be minted in Baghdad. On this coin he proclaims his son al-Amin to be his successor. Abbasid Caliphate Dinar, Harun al-Rashid, Baghdad, AH 186 (AD 802) Gold, 18.5 mm, 4.02 gm Mint: Not named but Madinat Al Salam "City of Peace" (Baghdad) https://www.brianrxm.com The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies Coins on Television Edited by willieboyd2 11/27/2024 09:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
