<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 11231002, member: 75482&quot;]The coins turning up in New England are tiny silver <i>khamsiya </i>(1/5 dirham) struck by the Qasimid Imams of Yemen, opposite the Arabian Sea from Mughal india. The <i>khamsiya </i>weigh between 0.45 and 0.65gm each, about 1/20 the weight of an Indian rupee. The dates of the coins found and their known area of circulation make the association with Henry Every possible. The coin below is one actually found in New England by Jim Bailey, dated AH 1105 (AD 1694).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1525713[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://numismatics.org/pocketchange/yemen-correction/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://numismatics.org/pocketchange/yemen-correction/" rel="nofollow">https://numismatics.org/pocketchange/yemen-correction/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
