<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2511090, member: 19463&quot;]Did you notice that Tug had four denominations that all weighed about the same and were the same diameter BUT each had different fineness and design clues.&nbsp; Your 4 gani was better billon that the 2 and less than the 6.&nbsp; The AE paika had no silver but all three were in the mid 3g range.&nbsp; Tye says the 4 gani is most common.&nbsp; Isn&#039;t that the way it always is?&nbsp; Again my Arabic illiteracy makes me unable to rea the date if it is on flan.&nbsp; Note that Tye lists dates that are not included in the reign (with &#039;sic&#039;) but I have no idea if he he is commenting on the readings of other scholars or if the king issued postdated coins from three years before he was in power.&nbsp; I would like to see a clear 715 but since I couldn&#039;t read it, I suppose that is a silly wish.&nbsp; Is the date the line on yours at bottom (left side) that is 90% off flan?&nbsp; I find these issues embarrassing because I don&#039;t know where to look for what![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
