chervonets New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 05/04/2010 4:14 pm I'm trying to figure out the Western date for this coin... AH1312 + 28 = AH1340 = 1922 AD, does it look right? I'm having some doubts though because the book says Mir Mahbub Ali Khan II ruled AH1285-1329 / 1869-1911AD. Maybe it's a posthumous issue? Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 05/04/2010 6:31 pm No, unlike the Ottoman coins they didn't put the ascension year, they ran the current year and the reignal year together. So your coin must be actually from AH 1312 (= AD 1894/5), which was the 28th year of Ali Khan's reign. (btw: I like your chervonets! Do you have an actual one?) Report this Post to the Staff
chervonets New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 05/04/2010 6:36 pm svslav, thanks again for the explanation! I didn't know 1312 was the actual (current) year. Now everything makes sense. I used to have that chervonets and I scanned it at that time. I sold it though. ;( Report this Post to the Staff
