Can someone please help me identify this coin from my late Fathers coin collection. I think it is Arabic and I think it is Silver? The Arabic numerals seem to indicate 1221 as the
date? The picture on the reverse is a mystery. I can find nothing like it on Google or Ebay to compare it. Thank you
Thank you so much. The coin weighs 10g and is 24mm diameter so I am sure it is the coin you have described. 1331 was my other
thought .having looked at Arabic numbers, very hard to tell if the 2nd and 3rd symbols represented 2 or 3. The design on the reverse
confirms the identity beyond doubt. Thank you again. Your help and quick response is much appreciated .
All the best tina23

You're welcome. I did a quick ebay search and found listings for this coin. You shouldn't have much trouble researching current listing values. Here is NCG's price guide for the coin. Interestingly, the NGC guide says it's 0.900 silver while the Numista page says 0.500. I'm guessing the Numista page is wrong as the 1/2 Rupee from the same years is 0.900.
Thank you, Really useful. I am in the process of selling his coins . Doing well so far . Always like to do my research 1st but this coin
was a real challenge!
