COUNTERMARKED COINAGE :
The countermarked examples of earlier types bearing the Arabic numerals 65. They were countermarked in a move to break money changers’ monopoly on small coins in AH1365 (1946AD). These countermarks vary in size and are found with the Arabic numbers raised in a circle. Incuse countermarks are considered a recent fabrication.
