Maldives coins [opgelost]

7 berichten • 173 keer bekeken
Good day all,

Who can help me identifying the below coins, which I think are from the Maldives Islands?

The bottom left one I've determined to be 1 Larin AH 1331 / 1913, KM # 41



Looking forward to any valuable response!

Welcome to Numista!

If you can provide diameters (to the nearest millimeter) and weights (to the nearest tenth of a gram) it would greatly help identification of your coins.

Edit added later: The upper left coin has a date of AH 1298, which would put it during the reign of Muhammad Imad al-Din IV. If its weight is 1.2-2.8 grams it is likely a half larin KM#35.1 similar to this one

Looking through the Krause catalog for the 18th century, the upper right coin matches the Bodu (2) Lari of Hasan Nur Al-Din I Al-Hajji, AH 1192-1213 = AD 1778-1799, KM#30.1. The date on yours is AH 1207.
Thanks Seeker55! That really helped, that leaves nr. 2 and 5 only undetermined now!

Below the details per coin with size and weight.

Having them numbered helps, and the weights and diameters make it possible to search the Zeno database, making identification much easier.

Number 5 is a one-quarter larin (later revised to one larin, according to Krause catalog) of Ibrahim Nur al-Din Iskander, AH1300, mint Mahli, KM#37

Number 2 is the same coin, with different dies and in better condition, also AH1300.
Much appreciated!
