    Yeah I believe you found it!!!!!!
    Here one I found in sand in on army deployment 1977 . If had not been in sand that had cleaned it it would be worth more. 1923

    The 10 para is 1327 regnal year 5 :
    1327AH (-3% + 622) = 1909 but this is year 1 so year 5 = 1913

    The other coin is Iranian/Persian. The date under the bust is 1340 (1921 because Iran doesn't subtract 3% because solar rather than lunar months). Denomination depends on weight
