All of my coin books are packed away, so I need some help with this one: From what I've seen elsewhere, its apparently an Afghani silver coin from the Kabul mint
I do not have a specialist book that late but it appears to match the Early World Coinage (Tye) 595 for Barakzai, Abd ur Rahman 1880-1901 The date is on the obverse in the lower left corner and I see enough of it to feel good about 130x AH but I'm not picking up on the lat digit which is on the edge below the dot=zero.
Thanks for the help! I'd say you're right. Here's a match from Zeno http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=74809 Based on that, I'll go with the date of 1305 AH.
1305 is what Tye showed in his drawing but I made a mistake looking at yours and thinking the dot above and right of the 3 was the 0 when the 0 was lower and off flan. The point is consistant with a 5. Not having a specialty book prevents knowing what other choices there are for the type. I felt lucky finding anything close in the book I have. Perhaps someone out there has a better book for modern. Shouldn't it be in Krause? (I've never owned one of them so I really don't know how deeply they cover such coins.)
