I'm going to play on a geographical area and take us back even further, to the Persian Empire. For this wildcard, play on any of the boundaries of the Persian Empire at its peak.

Siglos of Darius:

 

Iran. Afsharids under Nadir Shah, 6 Shahi 1738

edit; Oops. We are playing off of Iran already.

 

Cool coin. Let's keep the wildcard: Anything in, or bordering, the area of the ancient Persian Kingdom!

 

From Persian Empire to the Zangid Dynasty of Syria who ruled parts of the Levant and Upper Mesopotamia under the greater Seljuk Empire.
1178 AD (574 AH) AE Fals from As-Salih Ismail al-Malik

Zangid? Now that's the first new one for me in quite a while. Well played.

I'm familiar with the Seljuks, as their lion and sun coinage are popular in the ancient forum.

But you have delved deeper than I.

 

South of Zangid Dynasty. Saffarids of Seistan circa 1166 - 1215 CE. Area covering present day Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran.

 

Can I post paper money in this thread? Does that count? I have no idea. I'm going to post this Afghanistan currency. Let's play off the modern borders of Afghanistan.

 

Mauryan Empire, 321-150 BC, AR karshapana

 

I believe Bactria was to the north. Spalahores 75 to 50 BC

 

I think this is Sasanian, somewhere in that Silk Road neighborhood and times...

 

North to the region of The Golden Horde. Khwarizm 758 AH, Berdi Beg Khan

 

I guess I should have been more specific on the area that would fall under The Golden Horde. Use this map to determine your options

 

Well I’ll help narrow it down from the Golden Horde to Crimea, specifically from the Crimean Khanate. This coin dates to 1777-1783 CE and was issued under the last Khan of Crimea, Shahin Giray.

 

Turkey with a Dardanelles c/s

 

Turkey to Greece

 

Wrong thread!

 

Macedonia 5 Denari, 1993

 

". . . during the Three Brothers"

Don't leave me hangin', please! What does that mean?
