january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 09/12/2019 7:06 pm I bought this coin a few weeks ago for about $4, labeled as "Khanate of Khoqand". I proceeded to check all the Khoqand listings on Numista and Zeno, and could not find a match - but maybe I just wasn't looking well enough, and/or in the right places. (It doesn't help that I can't read Arabic at all, so I just compared the shapes of the squiggles.) Ultimately, I decided to leave this for other CCF members to identify - surely there should be enough detail for an attribution? That said, I do admit that the coin is not in the best condition, and the photos suck... 17x15 mm, 2.42 grams. For the record, I don't think any major design elements got washed out in the photos; the flat areas really are that flat (whether due to poor strike or complications from the hole - probably a bit of both). [EDIT: attributed as Khanate of Khiva! changed title] Edited by january1may 09/13/2019 07:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

That would explain why I didn't find it under Khoqand. Still neat. Looking at Zeno photos, I think the date is 1306, at the very bottom of the first pic (mostly off flan, but the top of the 6 doesn't look like anything else); this example at Zeno appears to be a reasonable (though not exact) match. (The other date area, around 4 hours on the second pic, is sadly mostly gone.) Report this Post to the Staff
