Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2875 Posts	Posted 08/02/2014 10:02 am The second one is an anonymous, overstruck AE Falus, Ahmadshahi (Qandahar) - Afghanistan area.

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 08/02/2014 6:28 pm There are two very good sites you can browse or send the pictures. I am sure that both of them will help you (if they find the time) http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/ http://www.zeno.ru Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2875 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 06:20 am I've seen one of these that wasn't overstruck that had a base year of AH1291 - so it's going to be there or thereabouts. It's copper and not really much value - a couple of pounds. One of mine ...

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 08/03/2014 12:33 pm Leaf between two swords. (information from Krause 1801-1900) Indeed looks like KM# 24 falus Ahmadshahi AH1254-1838AD or looks like KM# 92 falus Qandahar AH1295-1878AD (17-22mm) Since your coin is an overstrike, it is difficult to recognize all details. You must also know that none of the hammered coin are the same, because the die is Always bigger than the plate. Good find Bacchus2! Edited by Petrus 08/03/2014 12:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
