<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 70048, member: 1824&quot;]Islamic-coins,I am a specialist in collecting the coins &amp; banknotes of the British Commonwealth.The Maldive Islands,Malaysia,&amp; Pakistan are included,as is Bahawalpur &amp; Hyderabad (which were both Indian Princely States).Bahawalpur is now part of Pakistan,</p><p>but its last coins were a 1/2 Pice &amp; a 1/4 Anna of 1940.The ruling Amir of Bahawalpur in 1947 was Al-Haj Sir Mohammed Sadiq Khan V Abbasi (1907-55).The ruling Nizam of Hyderabad in 1947 was Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan (1911-48).Hyderabad attempted to declare independence as a constitutional monarchy within the British Commonwealth,but it was forcibly incorporated into India in 1948.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have got a Zanzibari AH1299 (1882) 1 Pysa of Sultan Barghash bin Said (1870-88) as well.This is a very interesting addition to my collection.Brunei is a very interesting country to collect,as it became independent within the British Commonwealth in 1984,as it had been under British protection since 1888.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
