Anzelmas Valued Member Sweden 171 Posts	Posted 06/02/2023 5:24 pm andyg thanks for your tip. I managed to find a couple of similar coins from Iran Qajar dynasty, but they are much larger than mine. Such a small one could not be found. Report this Post to the Staff
andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1313 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 5:32 pm If the weight is correct I would imagine this is a Shahi, the unfortunate hole and mount marks having reduced the weight from around 1.15g. These are quite scarce coins. These are not your coin type, but the legends look similar, Agha Muhammed Khan https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces62001.html Tehran https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces62000.html Report this Post to the Staff
Anzelmas Valued Member Sweden 171 Posts	Posted 06/05/2023 05:20 am andyg I agree with you. It must be Shahi Type D minted under Agha Muhammad Khan AH1193-1211 / 1779-97AD in Teheran. I checked Krause catalogue, but can't find Shahi minted in Teheran during this period. Only Isfahan, Khoy and Shiraz mint. Does Krause catalogue has not full information or my coin is not an ordinary coin? How do you think what is the value of my coin? Report this Post to the Staff
