Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1143 Posts	Posted 02/04/2020 10:44 pm These coins came as "unknown", and I have no clue as to what they are or where to start looking. I don't even know if the orientation is correct in the pictures attached. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? The first is 20 x 18 mm and 4.9 gr. The second is 19 x 17 mm and 5.0 gr. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 02/05/2020 03:38 am I haven't had time to look these up but I suspect they are 19th-century issues of the khanates in the Caucasus region. You may find them under Khiva, Khoqand, etc on Zeno or Numista. I think Krause may list them under their modern equivalents. Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 612 Posts	Posted 02/05/2020 1:11 pm Yes, 19th century. There is a date of AH 1287 on the second coin (about 9:00, which should be rotated to the bottom). The coin matches weight and size and looks quite similar to https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=85376 Qajar dynasty of Iran, Nasir-al Din silver qiran Edited by Seeker55 02/05/2020 1:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Novicius Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1143 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 10:09 pm We got the internet connection sorted out, but I still don't have a proper ID on the other coin. I seem to have had better luck with this one. It appears to be a 6 Shahi of Nadir Shah 1151 (1738). 18 mm and 6.6 gr. https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=171461 Report this Post to the Staff
