Las Bela (princely state)

According to the ONS reference ( damn this article is from 1985!) Main info for the coins is given on the last 2 pages of the magazine such as the coins value was determined by its weight:

The only coins I can find attributed to Bela are the falus of Mir Jamir Khan (1830-1869) like this:

https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2330580

At 5-6 grams, this coin appears to be the adelho (½ pice) being referred to in the article. 

 

Today we appear to have this coin listed as Khanate of Kalat:

N#492208

When I search for Kalat on acsearch, I find only copper coins struck under Nawaz Khan (1839-41) or Khudadad Khan (1856-93)

 

So, I will create Bela with ruling authority for Mir Jamir, then move the coin.   I will also add two ruling authorities for Kalat.

Thank, I believe the article may have mentioned that the weight determines the face value for the coin
