<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 2568748, member: 15445&quot;][ATTACH=full]555267[/ATTACH]</p><p>This Persian coin is called a “Larin”. It circulated around the Arabian Sea from the 16th to 18th Century. My 17th century Larin example weighs 4.83 grams and based upon its shape, was probably circulated in the area of Ceylon.&nbsp; The Larin was later traded at 5.5 Lari to the Spanish colonial piece of eight.&nbsp; If you want to learn more about this unusual trade coin you can read about it here:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/larin-international-trade-coin-of-the-arabian-seaboards-%E2%80%93-counterfeit-detection.271102/#post-2280577" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/larin-international-trade-coin-of-the-arabian-seaboards-%E2%80%93-counterfeit-detection.271102/#post-2280577">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/larin-international-trade-coin-of-the-arabian-seaboards-–-counterfeit-detection.271102/#post-2280577</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin and all my older coins are mostly without dates so they might be posted by Century as we all count-down further.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
