    Hoping some of the experienced collectors in here can help me in identifying these three silver Islamic coins. I have posted a pic with a ruler to assist in identification.
    Thanks a lot! Picture1.jpg Picture2.jpg

    coin #3 date believe 1836 coin #2 1901 coin #1 looks also to be 1901, dates are Roman calendar, might be Afgan, but I don't believe so maybe out of India.

    I dont think these coins are from India. This type of coin with Persian/Arabic legends and AH 1252 date (AD 1836) does not fit in with the known Mughal coins or Independent kingdoms of this time frame.

    Just to give you a direction to search: these are likely Persian/Iranian.
    I am not an expert on these, but in your top picture, rightmost coin in the top line is the mintname in Persian: Isfahan.

    Thanks, that does narrow it down a bit. Will start searching the Persian coin catalogs online.

    On your left coin the mintname is also in the top picture, but have trouble to decipher this. On your right coin the name of the ruler "Muhammad Shah" is in the lower picture.
