Ghaznavid: Mahmud (384-421) AR yamini dirham Type II, Ghazna Mint (Album-1609)

Yet another from the  lot I had a while back, looks Ghaznavid type but the two interlinked stars don't seem to appear on those coins so perhaps it's not Ghaznavid?

Mahmud ? Look here (mh145) ?

Correct.  More precisely Mahmud (384-421) AR yamini dirham, Type II, Ghazna Mint (Album-1609).  See Zeno #49974 as an example as well as the category for the type breakdown.  BTW, it is a very nice coin

A coin of Abbasid Caliphs then, I'll look on zeno for comparisons

It is a Ghaznavid coin then, I'll post it on zeno so they can  categorise it
