<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1037698, member: 19463&quot;]When this thread started last month, I knew nothing about the coin but happened to own the book so was able to study up on them.&nbsp; That, of course, made me want to own one.&nbsp; Fortunately they are pretty common and there were several for sale on eBay at that time.&nbsp; I decided that I wanted one that was off center in the direction that would show the year date even though that would cost an equal amount of the opposite side (ruler name) so I bid on two coins that fit the requirement.&nbsp; Considering that they are cheap coins, I am not upset that I won both.&nbsp; The top below shows the date most clearly in Hindi / Arabic numerals at the upper left of the obverse.&nbsp; As luck would have it &#039;700&#039; is about as close to our modern &#039;700&#039; as you can get.&nbsp; 700 AH is roughly Oct. 1300 to Sep. 1301.&nbsp; The other one is year 698 AH so it shares no numeral.&nbsp; Both are lower grade silver looking than the one that started this thread appears to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>This has always been the problem: Learn about a coin I don&#039;t have; Want an example; Buy another coin; Repeat.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
