Anatolia/ contempary imitation of Abu Sa'id/ Ilkhanate coin\

These were struck (1350-75) in Turkey

No Mint/ No Date.

These where unknown to numismatics/ until a tiny hoard was found somewhere in present day Turkey. It is speculated that 15-20 coins were found/ secretly (THank God) dispersed to auction firms. I got mine from Baldwins😉 "Islamic Auction"

Ilkhans were Mongol vassals to the Khan/ Ogadai/ Batu

Nice FM design. I still have all my FM Proof coins/ sets from 1974-78.

Then NFA introduced me to "Heaven" ancients/ Stacks a year later to classical non ancient/ world coinage. But I cherish them too!
