Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".

I am as always in awe of those who can connect the scribbles on the coin with modern Arabic writing. I have been unable to make the connection.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Thank you Peter, the obverse of the coin is easy to read in Arabic, but for the reverse, I had to compare with the referenced link which fitted well with the scribbles. The date is not visible on this coin.
