Unidentified Arabic/Persian coin or token [opgelost]

6 berichten
I have a very plain coin/token with Arabic writing that I found in an eBay lot of 100 coins. It's all just writing, with no helpful heraldry or symbols. It has the date 1291, which apparently can be either 1912/1913 if a Persian date or 1874/1875 if an Islamic date. I don't even know if it's an actual coin or a token of some sort.

It weighs 3 grams, is 19.1 mm in diameter, 1 mm thick, and is either copper or bronze. Any ideas?

I do not recognize this coin..
probably a token
date seems Islamic
But it IS a coin ! From the Sultanate of Lahej:

Fantastic! How did you identify it, just from the writing?

My coin is Good and is bent, so I will probably not be realizing 100 EUR for it. :D

Here is its Numista page:

Should take a better photo of the reverse with my proper camera and add it to the page?
Most likely not 100euros. :D
Just the text, there was no need to look for the date since i knew them. I can't read arabic, but i understand some words - "sultanate" was the first and "Lahej" has a very particular look to it (the thing in the center of side B that looks like a highly stylized number "3"). Also, Lahej (non-gold) coins have only 2 "motifs". One like yours with the stylized number 3 in the middle, and the other with the stylized 3 below, like this one: http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=23783
CiteerHeretic_CataLa maggior parte dei 100 € non probabile. : D
solo il testo, non c'era bisogno di cercare la data da quando li conoscevo. Non riesco a leggere l'arabo, ma capisco alcune parole - "sultanato" è stata la prima e "Lahej" ha un aspetto molto particolare ad essa (la cosa al centro di lato B che sembra un numero molto stilizzato "3") . Inoltre, Lahej (non in oro) monete hanno solo 2 "motivi". Uno come il vostro con il numero stilizzato 3 nel mezzo, e l'altro con la stilizzata 3 di seguito, come questo: http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=23783

​Great Heretic_Cata
