8 posts
Hi All,

Just received one of these:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22299.html

Can see the year 1325, but don't know if it's //40 or //41.
Where would this be on the coin.

(apologies for lack of picture right now)

I'm not an expert in any kind of coins, but I reckon I'm good at research and will do my best to help. Feel free to tell me my identifications/valuations/gradings are wrong. It's the only way I'll learn.
Here's a close up of the year, am I right with 1325 (٥ ٢ ٣ ١)?
Can't quite make out the last character.

Coin on that page is RY40... this is the location

  
Fantastic!

Although I don't recognise the "4" character in your image, not the same as in the numisdoc, https://en.numista.com/numisdoc/calendar-islamic-30.html

In my case, it's 39.


Which must mean that it isn't 1325, I'm guessing that my year is 1324?
Again, that "4" that I don't recognise.

Thank you for your help.

Yes yours is 39 for sure... the four is written in a lot of ways.... but not sure about the date on the obv of your coin..  :snif:

Could be 4....
Now I get it (I think).

The number system on this coin is an Urdu variant?

Yes Urdu variant and the obv date is most likely 1324...
Definitely 1324 (1906)//39.

Thank you so much @josephjk, your help has been very much appreciated.
