tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 6895 Posts	Posted 10/18/2024 10:37 am Looks like you might have a date of AH 1208 (1794) just inside bottom of circle in second photo. Script looks like that used in Iran, Afghanistan, some of the Indian States. Size close to a half rupee taking the missing bits into account? I couldn't find a match based on date and size, so maybe someone who can read the coin will be able. Edited by tdziemia 10/18/2024 10:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1240 Posts	Posted 10/20/2024 3:09 pm date is 1280, rather than 1208, with the dot for the zero quite some way to right, after zarb. Actually, it might just be 1281 (?) https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=188886 Edited by andyg 10/20/2024 3:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2061 Posts	Posted 10/20/2024 5:27 pm I think andyg is correct, same type in Numista https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57430.html I see the date as 1281. Report this Post to the Staff
