Hello everyone!
I would like to help me identify the year of two Arab coins. They are two Dirhams Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik 724-743 AD.
Experts guess that it will be easy but I am novice in these currencies.
a greeting

The following book will definitely help and the Kindle version is only $10.  Even if you don't have a kindle, Amazon has free readers which you can download for the MAC and the PC:
