What is the difference between N#142746 and this coin?
Discussion about
Bahmani, Sultanate of • ½ Gani - Taj ud din Firuz Shah

I am no expert but the weight is the first thing I noticed oh and then the diameter ok that's just slight….. Am sure others will be along to point out other differences….
There is no difference whatsoever and the one listed as ⅓ Gani is not correct, N#142746
The coins are both 1 Falus, BH66, the weight range varies considerably and Goron/Goenka list it as 4.7-5.5g (which can still vary even more)
The claimed ⅓ Gani does not even exist for this ruler, there is ⅓ Falus, tiny coins weighing 1.3-1.8g.
The coins above, can only be BH66 ( listed as extremely common) and are the only coins anywhere near this weight apart from BH70A Paisa of 4.5g with completely different legends.
Variation is definitely due to different dies, I probably have a dozen of these , all from different dies, actually finding a die match on many of the Sultanate series would be most unusual
So make the changes in the Numista catalog if what you claim is factual.
Edit: request the changes in the Numista catalog.

What do you mean by “if what you claim is factual.” ?? Do you have Goron & Goenka coins of the Indian Sultanates? clearly not so don't make assumptions on coins you know absolutely nothing about
What do you mean what do I mean ? To make changes or corrections to the catalog you must prove your argument to the Numista referees. Don't make claims with out proof. You are proclaiming errors in the Numista catalog. Prove it arrogant one. What do you not understand?

I have no intention of altering other members listings, Proof is in the definitive G/G catalogue as already mentioned
And for your information I have already found numerous errors in the Indian section which have since been corrected by others.

The world renowned catalogue I quote from is used for refs on Numista, zeno and just about everywhere in the world of Indian Sultanates but because you have no knowledge of it then therefore it can't possibly be relevant, good grief

On the contrary, I have pointed out the error in a posting, pointed out that the two coins in question are the same type.
You however have added absolutely nothing other than a dumb comment that a handstruck coin “might” have die differences and then turned yourself into a troll because, as I already pointed out, you know nothing about this subject do you???
Get over yourself child. I do not make claims I can't substantiate. You did.

Get over yourself child.
I think we should stop now before you embarrass yourself even further
The yellow coin has 2 dots on the bottom of the obverse unlike the better condition coin , but what if that part was not struck on the planchant

The script on that side reads as Firuz shah bahmani, and those diacritic marks (dots called nutqa) belong to the end of the word Bahmani but are not always in place, I have seen examples with 2 dots, one dot and no dots which is simply down to the engravers error
The mint and date on these coins is rarely visible because it is in the margin circle, See https://www.zeno.ru/search.php?searchid=52297 for more examples

Did Taj ud din firuz shah have a ⅓ gani coin?
Like many of the Indian Sultanates the Bahmani copper coins are listed as Falus
As I already mentioned on my 2nd post above
“The claimed ⅓ Gani does not even exist for this ruler, there is ⅓ Falus, a tiny coins weighing 1.3-1.8g.”
