    Not sure but I like them. I collect gold coins but don't any dinars. Do you sell other world gold coins as well and do you have a website?

    We would need larger and clearer photographs of the coin to identify it.

    I was thinking Abbasid.

    I believe the date is "Year 148", which would convert to AD 765. A rather early Abbasid coin, from the reign of Caliph al-Mansur. No named mint, so struck in Baghdad. My Stephen Album checklist rates dinars from this reign as "common", so it would have minimal premium (maybe 10%?) above the gold value.
