MECCA: Anonymous, early 19th century, AE mahmudi (15.03g), Makka, AH1220, KM-2, A-S1160, inscriptions only on both sides, lovely strike, Very Fine, RR. The Wahhabi Sharifs struck anonymous copper coins from 1219 to 1240, with the possible addition of a few coins dated earlier in the 1210s. They are rather heavy and resemble contemporary copper paisas of western India, whence it is conceivable that Muslim manufacturers from India came to Arabia to prepare these coins.
