Possibly Indian State, three, (3)... ?!?!

7 berichten • 68 keer bekeken

Hello, hello again... This is one more coin that is possibly Indian Princely State, or one of the Empires, or Sultanates... on the first picture I can make out the date "AH 1254"... so that's 1838 AD... the rest of the writings I need to decipher (please help)...
Here's what I know:
Metal: Bronze/Copper
Weight: 1.0g
Diameter: 16.1-16.3mm
If you look closely at the pictures, you can see that on one side the outer part of metal that was supposed to be cut off at the dotted line, is still intact... so it was not cut... hence, the sharp, pointing piece on one side of the coin is sticking out... this may cause the diameter to be inaccurate so give or take a 1mm... Therefore the Diameter is around 15.0mm
Good job reading the date. Looks quite similar to this one

Thank you seeker55... How do you find them so quickly on Zeno...? I was browsing Zeno for coins based on the very same information... and did not find anything even close to the coin in search... !?!? am I using the search engine in a wrong way... what information did you punch in...!?!? just curious... ty... :)
Yes, I went to Zeno and tried several approaches. I left out the country and put in bronze plus a weight range and diameter range, and got quite a few. Then added the date 1254 and got only one hit.
thank you once again... I saw on another post, you've mentioned Zeno and G&G... what is G&G...?  :)

G&G is "The Coins of the Indian Sultanates" by Goron and Goenka, a definitive and rather comprehensive book for Indian Sultanate coins.
