Message:: [QUOTE="Aidan Work, post: 188295, member: 1824"]Biju,have you thought about building a website for the coins of India itself? You wouldn't want to list coins & banknotes of the Bengal,Bombay,& Madras Presidencies on the Indian Princely States coin website,as the Presidencies were not Princely States. In the Indian Princely States coin listings,you would have to have information divided by reign,then by coinage,& then by denomination.Under each denomination listing,you would have to have date charts. For example,you would have under the 1 Kori of Kutch,you'd have to arrange the listing like this;'KM' catalogue number,'VS' date,'AH' date,& regnal year.In the banknote chart,it would be a 'PS' catalogue number instead of a 'KM' number. What do you think? Arabic numerals are very easy to read.If you have a copy of the Krause catalogues,there is a numeral chart near the front.There is also an 'AH' date conversion chart in the back of Krause.'AH' stands for 'Anno Hegeriae (Hegira Year)'.It is a lunar calendar of 354 days,which is why you will sometimes find the date of one calendar mixed with the date from the previous year or the following year in some cases.
