David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1422 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 5:38 pm Hi all, I have a Tanka coin that I think is dated 843. Problem is that would place the coin before the issue dates. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces131763.html Can the experts please confirm this date? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1171 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 6:05 pm I can see a "5"? This one is "855" https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=66478 Report this Post to the Staff
David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1422 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 6:38 pm Hi Andy, Now I'm totally confused. Have circled what I see as a definite 3 (preceded by what looks like a 4) yet that is a 5? Can you please let me know which numbering system is in use as I just can't make that work as a 5. Also included a non-close-up. Thanks Edited by David Graham 02/02/2023 7:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 4154 Posts	Posted 02/03/2023 01:25 am We just discussed this in the HFBCWG6 thread. TL/DR: the Jaunpur 5 looks exactly like a later 4, while their 4 is a characteristic phi-like shape (as opposed to the epsilon-like shape of the 5). So this coin is dated 853. I couldn't see any references to this 5 shape anywhere online either. (EDIT: OK, here's one.) We numismatists really need a good study of medieval Eastern Arabic numerals, the way there are plenty of for Western Arabic/European...

andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1171 Posts	Posted 02/03/2023 4:11 pm Sorry if I caused some confusion the coin I linked to is 855, This one is 853 I have attempted to draw a 4 next to the below. Edited by andyg 02/03/2023 4:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1422 Posts	Posted 02/03/2023 5:19 pm Thanks january1may and AndyG. I don't mind it so much when a completely different character is used for a number but it is confusing when a single character can represent 2 different numbers.
