Not a pictorial one but overstruck civic fulus counterstamp on an Iranian Abu Shahr 1221 AH copper.  |

I like that last one.
It is without countermark in Valentine labelled as "two lions facing each other"
With the ornaments looking like carrots, one could also think these are two rabbits.

That one is excellent. I find these type of coins to be infinitely more interesting than machine stamped coins churned out by their millions.

Thank you very much. This one appears in KM under Iraq/Mesopotamia, in Valentine under Turkey. It has been struck under the governor Sait Pasa. On a similar coin he put his name on the obverse. Krause says that he was beheaded for this infringement of tradition.   |

This one is from Afghanistan, struck at Qandahar during the British occupation. KM#94 Would also be a nice addition to a collection of Colonial coins.   |

This is a presentation or prestige issue with the lion and sun on both sides. They have been meant to be mounted. It is quite large with 32 mm of diameter. The lion is of the style of the Isfahan coins.   |

A Civic copper from Afghanistan, Qandahar mint with a lion on a laminated flan, dated AH1085. These laminated flan appear in general only on coins from Afghanistan. I would be happy to see more coins from other collections.   |

Some really cool coins here, especially that overstuck one! I like struck "modern" coins, and have a few. I think this would count as a civic coin?  INDIA, French Pondicherry Æ Doudou, 16mm, 4.0g, 12h; c. AD 1720-1837 Obv.: Fleur de lis. Rev.: 3-line Tamil legend, naming the mint: Pu du / ch e r / i Reference: KM 35 |

Thank you for this coin.
Civic copper often suggests a Persian origin.
But by the definition of not mentioning the ruler and giving the value and naming the mint, it fits well into this topic.
The coins struck over a Russian coin is absolutely great and these are very sought-after.

This is a two year type. Years are AH1233 (this coin) and AH1234, minted in Rasht. Has definately been struck over another, unidentified coin.   |
