I bought this coin so long ago I forgot what it is, when I got it and how much I paid. Plz forgive me if it’s upside down. Thx.
Edited to add, I believe the coin is from Ethiopia or Cush.

ttt,
for the August crowd. ;-)
Weight?
Is it magnetic?
Will you send it for conservation?
I'm going with a coin from Turkey
(sand, not feather)
@renman95
Emirate of Harar (Ethiopia), 'Abd Allah bin Muhammad, 1302-1304 AH (1884-1887 AD). Mint al-Harar.
To determine the denomination, you need to know the weight.

I see date 1304 here:
Thx IVB. Emirate of Harar (Ethiopia), makes sense now. I'll get a weight once I'm back on planet.
...so my bottom pic was upside down.
I’ve been having one of those moments where I think to myself, I know there’s something I was supposed to check, and while I was looking for another coin I stumbled this coin from Ethiopia again.
It comes in at 1.3 g.
Referencing the above website, looks like the denomination is Mahallak, 1.37 g, 17.7 mm. 1303AH
