<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 6556049, member: 99456&quot;]I am reviving this thread with a coin that has me a bit stumped.&nbsp; I am hoping that those on this thread might offer suggestions for more information.&nbsp; It is ex-@EW3 so I am hopeful.&nbsp; It seems quite unusual for its high copper content and heavy weight compared to any of the coins shows so far.&nbsp; Although it was dated by the seller as circa 9th century, I would have guessed later - more 12-13th century.&nbsp; It also seems to resemble billion coins from Malwa.&nbsp; The Deyell D reference has so far eluded me.</p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1263153[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b>Indo Sasanian, Chalukyas of Gujarat</b>, circa 9th Century AD, Base AR Gadhaiya Paisa</p><p><b>Size:</b> 13-15mm, 4.7g</p><p><b>Obv: </b>Indo-Sasanian style bust to right, sun and moon above</p><p><b>Rev:</b> Stylized fire altar, sun above left, crescent moon above right</p><p><b>Reference: </b> Deyell D 156 - 159<b></b></p><p><b>Note:</b> &quot;Base AR&quot; means a very weak silver-copper alloy - I am not sure there is any silver to be found here</p><p><b>Provenance:</b> ex-private German collection, ex-Tye York UK[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
