Is this 1 qirsh, as the catalogue shows a different mark at the top of the writing :S





Any help greatly appreciated now I can't weigh it as I still can't afford .01g scales but it's 15mm in size !

 There were some replies around mine. Did you see it - I think it is the one I found.  :)

Sorry Phil, but this is one of those rare occasions that I have to disagree with you. On the obverse of Mark's coin, underneath the toughra, the denomination reads "1"

  There is no size on the page I found, so it could be 15mm
I only think it was that coin as
  • On top of first side are seven stars
  • On top of other side are three stars
  • There is a  ١  at the bottom of first side, so it agrees with 1 denomination
  • The  ١٢٩٣  date at bottom of other side

 Near top of second side are 10 numerals i.e.  ١۰  so on the page that says year 10 i.e. 1293 (1884)

I was thinking the denomination is under the 3 stars on the reverse?

The "10" under the 3 stars on the reverse is the regnal year which, when combined with the AH1293 year of accession below the Arabic inscription will give you the year of issue. On Mark's coin I believe the year converts to 1884/1885 Gregorian.

Good work guys.

That reminds me... I think that we should create regnal years for the different rulers, what do you think?

What did you have in mind with the regnal years, SmartOne?
