Dearborn, the 2X2 said "Muscat and Oman" but I didn't recognize it as one of their regular issues. Definitely worth the $3.50 I paid for it.

From what I read Muscat and Oman had issued the coin exclusively for the Dhofar Governorate region.

umm, Dhofar is part of Oman, so we've gone from Oman to Oman. Where's the thread police when you need them?

I have a couple of very unloved Eisenhower dollars if that might help change your mind? I might get the hammer and chisel to them later...

Quote:Dhofar Governorate is the issuer, which is distinct from Oman. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces27985.htmlCan we go from Oman to Muscat and Oman? Edited to fix typo. Dhofar is now the southern half of Oman, if predecessor states count independently to modern states we could be in Germany for years.

Pakistan to India Golkonda (sultanate) , Falus, AH1068 (these are remarkably common compared to other sultanate coins!)

Quote: if predecessor states count independently to modern states we could be in Germany for years. andy, we usually play a little loose with coins from German states or Indian Princely States - treating the move as if the state were the entire country if needed. Otherwise it would be difficult to move to / out of a state / city in the interior of these countries, and we would miss out on seeing some really cool coins.
