Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/07/2025 5:22 pm @ori, I agree on your assessment of the numbers, but would add a zero at the end. Maybe dated AH 950? The closest I can find (which is admittedly not a great match) is Delhi Sultanate, such as this one: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6664323 So much of the text is off flan that you may need the help of a native speaker to get better information.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 12/07/2025 7:30 pm Yes, quite possibly AH950, or maybe 957 or 895! It does narrow down the possibilities considerably, not not yet narrow enough! Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 12/09/2025 8:48 pm I read the date as 957, and also about 2 o'clock on the first photo read either Mahmud or Muhammad. It does look like a sultanate coin, but I wasn't able to find a match in a quick Zeno search. Report this Post to the Staff
andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1314 Posts	Posted 12/11/2025 5:14 pm Try D705. Dates should be 894 to 909. So 907 would fit. Edited by andyg 12/11/2025 5:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 12/13/2025 10:08 pm Yes, I agree with andyg. Looking at the photo of D705 in Goron/Goenka, I think it's a match and agree with the 907 date. Here's an example from Zeno dated 902 (at 7 o'clock on the edge of the second photo), and also showing the abnormally large zero that looks like a 5. https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=80051 Edited by Seeker55 12/13/2025 10:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
