Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 03/11/2020 7:11 pm This silver coin is 13.3mm and .6 grams. I think this might be attributed to Hajji (Haci) Giray roughly 1441-1466. Wondering if anyone can confirm and/or help with mint identification. Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 03/11/2020 11:40 pm I think you're right. Here's a somewhat similar coin, though not an exact match. https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=237843 I think you should recheck the weight -- 0.6 g doesn't match other Khanate of Crimea coins.

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 03/12/2020 10:39 am I think Seeker55's coin is the same ruler and mint (Qrim). The op coin seems to have a partial date. Coins of this era are often clipped, which may account for low weight. Report this Post to the Staff
Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 03/12/2020 1:05 pm I checked the weight again. Definitely .6 grams. I'm not sure that being clipped would explain that much of a weight difference. The coin on the Zeno link is 9.62 grams. This coin is also very thin. Even if there was no clipping I don't think it would weigh much more than a gram. Wondering if there are possibly smaller denominations? Report this Post to the Staff
Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 03/12/2020 1:58 pm @Kushanshah: where do you see a partial date? I don't even know where to start looking in these... Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5176 Posts	Posted 03/12/2020 6:42 pm With a size of 13 mm, a weight of 0.6 grams sounds about right. I don't think the coin was clipped; it's just off-center. I'm not sure where did that particular Zeno example get 9.62 grams from; I suspect that it's 0.62 grams. A 14 mm coin weighing 9.62 grams would be something like 5 mm thick (some Indian coins do look like that). Report this Post to the Staff
