Hi, Would appreciate some advice regarding this Iranian 2 Rial coin. I feel sure it's 1969 but when I enter the date into a converter it shows 1929 and 1969. I don't understand why it shows both the Lunar and the Solar Hejira. Incidentally is the third character of the date in the picture a misstrike? Thanks in advance Geoff
Sorry, the last part of my post got cut off:- Incidentally is the third character of the date in the picture a misstrike? Thanks in advance Geoff
It is 1969. Iran has used both solar and lunar Hejira on coins at different points in time, which is probably why your converter gave both. I looked at some other examples of that date and it looks like that's just how they shaped the ۴ that year.
