The silver one seems to be dated "772" - if that's Islamic calendar, then this is from around 1370 AD. It could, however be an Indian calendar. Can we see the other sides? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16874 Posts	Posted 12/14/2007 8:32 pm quote: I said before: The silver one seems to be dated "772"... Oops. My mistake. It's actually dated "776" by the Islamic calendar (=1374 AD). It doesn't really make much difference in this case; this case; it's a base-silver tanka of the Sultanate of Delhi, Delhi mint. The ruler at the time was Firoz Shah III (also spelled Firuz Shah). Here's a nice, similar example but dated "771" on Zeno.ru. Price: hard to say; Stephen Album's "Checklist of Islamic" doesn't include Indian states. A similar one is listed in his reprint of Marsden as Marsden# 718, given a value of $2 back in 1977. I'd guess probably a $20 coin, plus or minus $10. The copper one is much more recent, a copper quarter anna from the Indian princely state of Jodhpur, in the name of George VI; something like KM# 145, issued circa 1945; I can't make out a date on your coin. CV $2 to $4. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
