Hello,

This is probably an Arabic fals, but I can not find it. Can you?

Dear Guillaume, I will read the text on your copper Fals; I think it is Umayyad Fals (al-Andalus):
Umayyad Caliphate, Al-Walid I ibn Abd al-Malik, AE Fals, mint? (AH 86-96/ 705-715 AD)
Reverse (First photo):
محمد  , Muhammad
رسول الله  , Rasul Allah
Obverse (Second photo):
لا اله ا  , La Ilah I (the word Illa " الا " is completed in the next line)
لا الله  , lla Allah
Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan (الوليد بن عبد الملك بن مروان), commonly known as al-Walid I (الوليد الأول), was the sixth Umayyad caliph, ruling from October 705 until his death in 715. He was the eldest son of his predecessor, Caliph Abd al-Malik.

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

Thans a lot Maythem! I suppose Al-Walid did not have the time to cast coins in Spain and all his mints were in Africa?
