The first coin is a fals from the Ummayad Caliphate (661-750). The obverse has a three (vertical) lines inscription: "ia ilah illa Allah wahdahu". The reverse has three lines in center "Mohammed rasul Allah" and a circular inscription around "bismillah zuriba haza al-fals bi-Halab waf". (The six ver...

Dear Mynter and Gerhard, thank you very much for this info!

The first coin belongs to one of the sultanates in India (12th-16th centuries). The bottom coin was minted by the British administration in Madras (Madras Presidency), 18th century. It's a bit difficult to see what exactly they are, because the scans are too dark. If you try to experiment with the l...

Schrift ist arabisch. Wolga-gebiet ist vermutlich korrekt.

Dear friends, In a different forum, "Coin-Expert" has explained that a two-volume publication on GDR coins and bank notes was forthcoming. Does anyone know if this ambitious material has been published? If such a work has indeed materialized, I would like to consult it. Thank you for any information...

Dear annius verus, As Afrasi said, the rupee was minted in Kabul - it says "Kabul" on the reverse (right hand image). It was minted during the first reign of Dost Muhammad (1824-1839) in the name of his father, Payinda Khan. In my 1996 version of "World Coins" it is catalogued as KM# 480.1. The coin...

Also, ich glaube daß 5 Mark 20 Jahre DDR, Brandenburger Tor und Meißen in DDR-zeiten eingeschmolzt war, nicht beim D-Mark einführung. Das kann natürlich falsch sein.

Guck mal an diese Ziffern: 5 Mark 1969, 20 Jahre DDR: 50 mio. produziert, 39 mio. eingeschmolzen. 5 Mark 1971, Brandenburger Tor: 18 mio. produziert, 16 mio. eingeschmolzen. 5 Mark 1972 Meißen: 10 mio. produziert, 9 mio. eingeschmolzen. Wahrscheinlich hatte die Staatsbank die Absicht 5 Mark Münzen i...

"der Preisunterschied ist nämlich auch enorm, in Export - Qualität kostet z. B. das 1 Mk. Stück 1980 lt. Liste 70.- DM, in stgl. matt (= normale Prägung) 600.- DM....!!!" (Quelle: http://www.****/forum/ddr-muenzen/253-exportqualitaet.html). Und jetzt auch Jaeger-Katalog 2007: 1 Mark 1980 ST (matt) €...

Vielen Dank! Ich siehe jetzt dass ich den Jaeger-Katalog verwenden sollen. Stempelglanz 5 pfennig 1982, 20 pfennig 1980, 50 pfennig 1980, 1 mark 1980 und wahrscheinlich auch 1984er Münzen sind viel teurer als die exp.-Münzen.

Hallo, Kann jemand da helfen? Ich möchte gern wissen ob es einen Katalog gibt wo man der Unterschied zwischen Wert von Normalprägungen und exportqualität herausfinden kann (Umlaufmünzen 1979-90). Manchmal ist die Normalprägung teurer als die Exportmünzen. (Z.b. 1 mark 1980: 600 DM ST matt und 70 DM ...

Hi, didius. Yes, you've got "us" (of fulus) and 1089 painted in red. The mint name should be somewhere above the "us". Unfortunately what is visible seems to be simply "zarb" (struck), not the name of a city. You might wish to upload it on zeno.ru for identification, but I doubt you will get any mor...

Oh yes - thank you, Afrasi. AH1089 = AD1678/9.

The upper "coin" is not a proper coin, it's supposed to be a so-called Prap Haw medal (late 19th century, I believe). I think this one is fake, however. There is a similar item in the Zeno database: http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=6176. The copper coin is an att (= ½ pai) of CS1238 (= 1876).

The reverse type appears to be a square with ornaments around. All I can make of the inscription inside the square is "zarb fulus..." (fulus struck (at)...). Unfortunately, I don't think the mintname is legible on your coin. But the date is: 1079 (=1668).
