<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 2601183, member: 74834&quot;]Thanks, Mani! You hit it right on the spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not being a reader of Arabic, for me the riddle of such a coin starts with searching for a date. Arabic numbers were used since the 13th century and they are quite easy to spot, being written from left to right and looking a bit like &#039;our&#039; numerals. You find it on the left picture, bottom: a clear <i>V</i> and an <i>O</i>, and less clear <i>I I</i> before it. I would say 1175 AH = 1762 AD. A zero is written as a dot. But I might be erring.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a <a href="http://www.calendarhome.com/calculate/convert-a-date/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.calendarhome.com/calculate/convert-a-date/" rel="nofollow">useful date converter</a> for many calendars. But the months and the days might occasionally get in the way.</p><p>For Islamic coins use, I downloaded an &quot;<font size="4">AH x AD converter chart (years only)&quot;, you find it on google with these exact words. </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
