Hi all,

This coin appeared in a bulk batch. The bull (I think) is suggestive of India or there abouts while the flowers around the dots is more suggestive of Iran. There appears to be arabic scripts on the worst worn side. In short, I'm at a loss and am hoping the expertise of CC members can help out, or maybe Sap already knows what it is?

Weight = 6.45g
Diam. = 20.3-21.7mm

Thanks

Pretty sure this is from Iran, seems to be dated 109x

I think andyg has it, an Iranian falus. "1098" would be my guess for the date, now that I know where to find the date-numerals, though "1095" with a Persian "5" is just as good.

That would be KM 104, if you have the 1600s Krause. Unfortunately the NGC price guide page doesn't have pics, but does mention the bull and wreath.

That's it. You guys are champions.

Odd, I did go through Zeno but I wonder if I was concentrating on the wreath which are not evident in the pic.

Thanks again.
