Unknown Iranain Coin [solved]

6 posts • viewed 53 times

Hello, Ended up with this coin and not sure exactly what it is. It's definitely from Iran, thanks lion, and appears to be silver. The coin measures 16.5mm in diameter and weighs 0.85g. The year appears to me to be 1331. It most closely matches the Shahi Sefid denominations, but wieght is a little heavy. The issue is I don't see any of these coins with the year 1331, or at least the year 1331 coins are a different design. Likely just a missing year in the database? Or does any one know more?

Looks like 1301 to me.

Yeah, the date is all kinds of funky. If we go with 1301, then the first 1 seems to have the two humps at top making a 3, but this blends into the wreath and doesn't come through well in the picture, but is clear with a loupe. 

 

So if you go with 1301, then there is what looks like a 1 and a dot, potentially a 0, before the 1301.

 

If you go with 1331, then agreed there is a mystery dot/cube between the last 3 and 1. This seems low for a zero?

 

A double struck 1301 could make sense as least it lines up with known dates. Maybe whom ever was striking these that day was just having some fun. 

Here's another 1301

Thanks. That clears things up.
