Update:

so far Ive seen ive seen one sold for 75.00

 

Wow that was quick. I looked on that one for about 2 hours and had nothing. Maybe this one will be alittle tougher for you. Someone must have worn this one on a necklace as thety putr a loop on it. It is apx 7/8 inches wide. Thanks again for all the help.

 

the other coin..the dent might have been caused by the screw press they used

 

If the "1320" is a standard Islamic date, it corresponds to the period from April 10, 1902-March 30, 1903. If it's one of the variant calendar dates, it's from some other part of the 20th Century.

I'm too lazy to try comparing the Arabic writing to all of the dozens of mint names attributed in Krause, so I'm going to wait for one of the several forum members who read Arabic to fill us in.

Edited to say . I guess I should have looked at page 2 before responding to a post on page 1.

So far as I can tell there is no date on the pendant, so . . .

 

lol..yeah it is very hard to pick the correct writing

the pendant/coin....so far I have this

sold for 40.00 U.S

 

Nice group, fastfun1111. The fun part of this hobby is identifying the coin correctly and to know little more about them.

Twiggs, you have identified the coin correctly as an Indo-Scythian issue of Azes-II. However, based on
original info, if it's 15/16 of an inch tall coin, then it's a tetradrachm rather then a drachm. A drachm will be approx. half of an inch coin.

Usually a nice tetradrachm of Azes II sells in the range of $80 to $120 (retail price)

What's the weight of this coin?

Note: Thanks to satootoko. The size of drachm is now corrected.

 

This is correctly identified as Shah Jahan's rupee.

On first image, the Islamic Kalima is written within the square. Just outside the right border, the hijri date AH 1049 is written in Persian numerals.

One second image, the king's name 'Shah Jahan' and his title is written in Persian within the square. At the bottom, the regnal year 12 and mint name is written as 'Zarb Dar-ul-sultanat, Lahore'.

So, this is a rupee of mughal emperor Shah Jahan minted in Lahore and issued in AH1049.

actually what I said was

There were so many and the grade made it hard to see the details clearly. Thank you for your input
Will have to check this out now

regarding the rupee...kewl. I go over every mark to make sure they are the same. So many looked correct but then there would be one or two marks that didnt match. Trying to find the exact coins on the web is sometimes a challenge.

 

Hello,
The coin weighs apx 11.6 grams but this is also including the loop that was put on the coin. Thanks again for all the help.

 

The coin with the loop is definitely a rupee.The weight confirms this.

I was curious for the weight of Azes II silver coin, i.e. the coin with "Knight on Horseback".

Hello,
That one is 7.g grams. Is this the proper weight? Thanks

 

Humm... Now I am confused. A drachm will weight somewhere between 2 to 3 grams. And a Tetradrachm will weight more them 10 grams. So, which one is this?

are you sure about the weight of this coin?

Regards,
Ballabh Garg

 

Hello,
The weight is 7.5 grams just double checked it. It is apx 15\16 of an inch wide.
