Hope your better half gets better soon @ttk. That should def take priority over this thread, but I'm glad to see you here nonetheless.

@bd, the short answer is yes.

Wow! I knew your OFEY collection was quite extensive but didn't realize it had that level of "completeness"

Here is my coin for 1460 CE
AH 864 Gujarat Sultanate falus GG# G181

@bd251 I have never been able to pick up an affordable AH 864 coin of any lineage, it shouldn't be that hard. Perhaps just bad timing on my part.
My coin for 1459 is an AH 863 Dehli Sultans tanka

It seems to be a particularly difficult year. Multiple previous editions of this thread ended at 1460. It took a lot of ebay searching through Sultanate coin listing that were not dated by the seller to find that one.

For 1459 I have a tanka from the Gujarat Sultanate dated AH 863, GG# G147a

Nice year with examples of both date types!
..and a kinda funky 5 on spence's coin (I'm a little surprised to NOT see Roman numerals after those 1460s Saxony coins).

Yep, it is super-nice to have coins representing both calendars I agree. Here is a 1458-dated Kreutzer, but from Styria (Levinson IV-5a).

I believe that this French Gros de roi is datable to 1455 (Duplessy 518; 2nd Emission):
