Persian falus

3 posts • viewed 142 times
Hello all,

I have this coin:



There are numbers on the obverse: 124, the 4 being faint (if it's a 4).

On the reverse, from the bottom: فلوس ("falus") and in the middle, I think, the mint of Mashhad (مشهد). At the top, I recognize the letters but can't make sense of them.

There is no exact match in the Numista catalogue.

I'm not sure how helpful this is, but it looks somewhat similar to this coin

Thanks Seeker.

I have just found this other type on the MANTIS website. It's not the same, but it allows me to complete the inscription: مشهد مقدس = Mashhad Muqaddas = "Holy Mashhad".

Many have the date 1246, it seems. So, may be that's what I have...

EDIT: Maybe it's Iran KM# 36 (giving only one mint, that of Rasht, as they do in this section) in the Standard Catalog of World Coins 1801─1900. I hesitate because the reverse seems to have a different inscription at the bottom.
