Afghanistan Fals of the Durrani Empire?

Great !!!
I find this link : http://colnect.com/fr/coins/coin/21650-1_Falus-1772_~_1792_-_Empire_Timur_Shah_Durrani-Afghanistan
I think it's the same, no ?

Similar but no cigar...

Yes you're right...

perhaps here?

Couldn't find any large sword design in the Timur section of Durrani on Zeno. Maybe someone else.

or Civic Copper. Those are the only two that it could possibly be. There is a chance for it to be an IPS, but I doubt it...

The closest IPS is from Kalat, but the scimitar is always flanked by 2 flowers - and the inscription differs. (unless there are rarer types not on zeno)

The ones from Dungarpur are with a different kind of sword and have a large branch with dots instead of leaves.
Ratlam has the same type of sword as Dungarpur so not that either.

Hello !
Thanks a lot for your help ;)
It is very difficult to find this coin, I hope we ll find some informations !
I add weight and diameter if it can help :)

We have some similar designs for Tabriz civic coppers: http://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=5439
Unfortunately, only rectangular coins with that design. I won't browse the civic coppers category further tho, as i hate them.

Based on Krause, the following verbiage is indicated for 18th century Afghanistan coins:



So, going to Valentine, it seems the closest legend is Valentine-28 and Valentine-29 (which is the same as KM#20). Using that legend we have:

ضرب فلس احمدشاهی ۱۲۴۰ (Falus struck at Ahmadshahi 1240) which is present-day Kandahar.

As a result, it is an anonymous copper coinage of Afghanistan. Just not classified anywhere that I can find.

Reference

Modern copper coins of the Muhammadan states of Turkey, Persia, Egypt, Afghanistan, Morocco, Tripoli, Tunis, etc., by W.H. Valentine

Quant.Geek, thanks a lot for your help
I don't collect this type of coin, so I want to sell it...
Unfortunately, it seems it's impossible to estimate this coin
What do you think about that ?

Thanks to other guys who send messages on this topic
And sorry again for my english

Thank you for posting it in Zeno quant.

​NP. It needs to be documented properly. BTW, frank indicted that the date should be 1245 and not 1240 as I thought it was. I wasn't sure about the date as it looked a bit funny (even 1245 doesn't look right to me either, but frank is highly respected and knowledgeable):

ضرب فلس احمدشاهی ۱۲۴۵ (Falus struck at Ahmadshahi 1245)

Somebody has tried to clean the coin. Hence the scartches
In that state it would bring down the value.
I think €15 would be tha maximum.

(and your english is very good for being French!)
