SRSNUM Posted December 9, 2016 Posted December 9, 2016 Please find digital scans of a Morocco 1/2 Dirham of Muhammed IV below. It appears to be dated AH 1286. It weighs 1.33 grams and is ~17X18mm in size. Close examination reveals indications of an undertype (i.e., struck on a previously struck coin NOT on a blank planchette) on both obverse and reverse. It appears to be in fine condition or perhaps a bit better for its type. Parts of the inscription are not visible due perhaps to the undertype interfering with proper die pressure to fully bring up the relief. I have been able to find an image of a similar item, but not been able to find a value for this item in any condition after considerable searching on the internet. Might a member be able to provide a value for this item? Quote
