ARAB-SASANIAN: Khusro type, ca , AR drachm (3.67g), BYW (unlocated), YE35, A-4, nice strike, some corrosion in the margins, still very attractive, bold VF, RR $ The mint or BYW should not be confused with RWY, which refers to Riv-Ardashir in southwestern Fars province. BYW is probably a still unidentified mint in the Kufa prefecture, as Khusro drachms dated YE35 and YE37 seem to be restricted to that prefecture (see my discussion in SICA, vol. 1, p.8). Drachms of this type struck at BYW are known dated 25, 30, 35 and 37. No later Arab-Sasanian issues of this mint are reported. 80. ARAB-SASANIAN: Abd Allah b.

The scraping off of bism Allah was done either when the coin was still in circulation, or in modern times by someone bitterly against Islam. I tend towards the modern erasure, due to its appearance, and am distressed that anyone might do this today. 7

It is generally considered the first type struck to replace the Yazdigerd type in Sijistan (A-1), in the first year of Ziyad s governorship at al-basra, but it is conceivably a much later local issue, perhaps during the rebellions of the late AH60's or later. 87.

Technically, this is a local issue of the state of Jodhpur (Marwar), during the reign of Bijay Singh ( ), as the mints under Marwar (Jodhpur, Pali, etc.) were not officially authorized by the Mughal administration until 1780 or thereabouts.

Nasir-ud-Din Haidar, , AV medal (23.17g), unknown mint, AH1251, Rabino-41, a Shi ite religious medal, without mention of ruler or administration, weight of 5 mithqal or 2 Indian mohurs, AH1251 extended from 29 April 1835 until 16 April 1836, VF $15,000-20,000 The obverse bears the text in the center, ana hajjat Allah wa khassatahu, I have performed the Hajj for God and honored Him (by doing so), with the names of the Shi ite Imams in the margin, the reverse bears a couplet praising the coins of the Master of Time (saheb oz-zaman). Although there is no clear evidence that this medal was ordered by the nawab of Awadh, it was the state of Awadh that had a significant Shi ite population, both within the region ruled by the nawab and in several subordinate states. The manufacturing style does not resemble anything that was possible in Iran (Rabino assigns this medal to the Qajar king of Iran, Muhammad Shah), unlikely also at Lucknow (the capital of Awadh), but the style and calligraphy is virtually identical to that of the contemporary Mughal nazarana rupees of Shahjahanabad, such as KM of Muhammad Akbar II struck until AH1249, as well as earlier examples dating back to the late nazarana issues of Shah Alam II. These were all struck at the mint of Delhi (Shahjahanabad). Thus it is likely that this medal was struck for whoever requested its production, either at the Delhi mint, or at one of the British Indian mints, public or private. What might be the purpose of a heavy gold medal for those who completed the hajj? It would seem most likely that it was presented either to a ruler who had himself performed the hajj, or to any important person after completing the hajj, whether in India or elsewhere. My personal feeling is that this piece was privately made, and sold to whoever wished to have one and could afford it, or to any ruler, in India or elsewhere, who intended to present to an important Shi ite citizen who had accomplished the hajj. This same piece was sold at the Islamic Coin Auction 13, lot 626, on 30 October 2007, where it fetched 7500, then equivalent to just over $15,000. It was listed there as a Qajar medal of Muhammad Shah ( ), as it had been published by Rabino. Neither Rabino nor the ICA catalog presented any further information about the origin and purpose of the medal. According to S. Bhandare, a few pieces have appeared in the Indian coin market over the past several decades. According to Rabino, the specimen he published had been in a Glendining auction in either 1936 or 1937, when the king of England was still the Mughal emperor of India BARODA: Collection of silver and bronze coins; Anand Rao, , AR rupee, DM, C-19,VF * Sayaji Rao II, , AR! rupee, year 38, C-37, F-VF * Khande Rao, , AE paisa, AH1276, C-63, F * AE paisa, AH(12)75, C-63, F * Muhar Rao, , AE paisa, ND, C-81, F-VF * AR! rupee, AH1288, C-88, VF * Sayaji Rao III, , AE pai, VS1949 EF, VS1950 VF-EF, AE paisa, VS1941 VF, VS1942VF, VS1943 VF, VS1946 VF-EF, VS1948 F & VF, VS1950 F & VF, AE 2 paisa, VS1947 F (3), VS1948 VF, VS1949 EF and superb red lustrous AU-UNC, AR 2 annas, VS1949 VF, AR 1/8 rupee, AH1297 EF, AR " rupee, VS1949 VF, AR! rupee, AH1298 VF, AH1299 EF, AR rupee, VS1949 VF, VS1950 VF, lot of 29 coins, ex.

John Page Collection $ Deyell, J., Living Without Silver, Delhi, 1990, 388 pages, 36 plates, hardcover with dust jacket. This book is concerned with money as an indicator of economic activity. It makes a comprehensive examination of the use of money from Afghanistan to Bihar, and from Kashmir to Malwa, during the period AD Its major premise is that the patterns of production, exchange, and dispersion of money over time can be used to define the economic systems of early medieval North India. This book explains and interprets the economic history of the period, using current models of feudalization, decentralization, trade, and commerce. The author rejects the common perception that money during this period was scarce, primitive, and debased, by analysing the evidence of surviving coin hoards. His findings suggest a considerably greater reliance on money, closer co-ordination of its use, and its wider circulation in larger quantities, than is consistent with many current models of the early medieval Indian economy, ex.

Jain has also tried to establish linkages between different ancient coins and their references & descriptions in Vedic/Buddhist/Jaina texts, Paninis Ashtadhyayi, Kautilyas Arthashastra, epical literature, Dharmashastras, foreigner's travelogues, old-world mathematical treatises, and numerous contemporary inscriptions, among other writings, ex.

This study concentrates on a contextual approach to the archaeology of Armorican coinage, and provides an archaeological and geographical background in which the coins can be placed. De Jersey places Armorica in its historic context, examining the core/periphery relationship of the Celtic and Roman worlds, the nature of the coinage evidence, and the role of coinage in the Celtic world.
