Right on cue.  I will change the title on Monday, of course, to allow a full day for 1497. Of course, having another one or three would be nice! |

@fuzzy319, thanks for sharing this dirham, the zero and two are quite clear on the rev. I have always had difficulty pinning an AH date down to a single AD year. As I understand it, these two calendars don't start on the same day, so there is incomplete overlap. Can you pin this particular coin's minting down to the first (or last) part of the year 902 or maybe I just don't understand the date conversion process very well?

For what it's worth, the old Russian calendar also did not start on the same day, but I personally would say their dates still count. This isn't really important for this thread (anymore), but might be for the third edition from 1612 to 1596 (the earlier range of old Russian dates).
But then you shouldn't count old English coins either - their years started in March!
The problem with AH dates is not that the year start dates (which indeed only rarely fall in early January, it's that there's no one-to-one correspondence at all - the AH year is about 3% shorter, so if you try to do a one-to-one correspondence, you end up with about three AH years per century left over.

Very nice! Looks like I can change the title again tomorrow. Please, no one post a 1495 until EddieDiz posts a 1496.  |
