porthos New Member India 15 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 12:09 am Can anyone help me out in identifying these three small silver Islamic coins. My guess would be that they are from Afghanistan but I am not sure. The bigger coins are 15mm diameter and the smaller one is 12mm in diameter. Any help would be appreciated.

porthos New Member India 15 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 03:48 am Your guess is as good as anything...let me start by searching them in Iranian coins. :) Report this Post to the Staff
OneDollarMule Valued Member Australia 338 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 10:31 am A good starting point with any of these "dump" rupees is the date! First coin: 1219 (?) Middle coin: 1319 Far right: 1252 (maybe 1253) Krause has many of these listed, hope that puts you on the right path! Report this Post to the Staff

porthos New Member India 15 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 01:28 am Thanks a lot...was able to pin down the third coin based on the date and Iran...Its Mohammad Shah, Persian Kran, Isfahan mint, KM # 791.1 Now starting search for the other two! :) Report this Post to the Staff
porthos New Member India 15 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 01:47 am I realised how inadequate Krause is when it comes to Persian coins...there are hardly any images at all for majority of the Persian coins from this period. I must convey my thanks once again to experienced collectors like Petrus and Onedollarmule for helping me out! Report this Post to the Staff
andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1321 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 2:08 pm 2nd coin can be found under Central Asia (Bukhara Khanate) - it should I think be a Tenge. 1st coin I'm stuck with - it's dated 1248 with the 8 being on the second line, it could be Iranian again - but I've not found anything similar.

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 5:38 pm left coin first pic: Bottom line should be the place of minting. Right on that line is 'Zarb-i' what means 'struck at'. Left coins second picture : at the bottom left you can read '84' (I think) But that can not be the regnal year. None of the rulers has lived that long https://goccf.com/t/173595 Edited by Petrus 07/08/2014 5:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
