Unknown Arabic coin [Resolvido]

5 publicações
Not sure where to start looking for this one. I can see what looks like 3 and 7 at 8 o'clock on the obverse(?), but after that I'm lost.

Any pointers?

Well, I'll be... I found it! It is a 1 pice coin from Bengal, 1831 (Year 37 of the reign of Shah Alam II).

The Numista search feature is pretty great. I just put in diameter 22-23 mm (my calipers read 22.7 mm), round, copper, and for the Gregorian year I guessed it was pre-20th century and just put 1000-1900.

I love this website!
The regnal year 37 is frozen. These coins were minte over a period of several years.

So if the Shah died in 1806, why was this coin minted in his name in 1831?
The coin says: 'In the name of Shah Alam'.....
