Date on Islamic, Tabarestan, Abbasid Governor Suleiman, Diamond Head Dirham
« on: September 20, 2019, 11:38:10 am »


Please help with the date on this Islamic, Tabarestan, Abbasid Governor Suleiman, diamond head dirham.  The type is almost always dated HPTSYYST (year 137 of the Post-Yazdegard Era). This coin, ex Beast Coins is on Zach's site, dated year 136 - http://www.beastcoins.com/Sasanian/Sasanian.htm. Year 136 is MUCH rarer. There is a year 138 on coin archives and the date actually looks like this one. Year 138 is extremely rare and the CA coin attribution could be in error. I think it does look like 136 and Zach is probably right, but with these, half the time even when I think I can read the date, I am wrong. I am hoping for a confirmation or correction. Is it year 136, 137 or 138? Thanks, Joe

Hi Joe,
I compared very well, with help of my humble languages background.
I believe your guess is right ,  I say   136  in Pahlavi scripts.

*I too believe there is an error in the Coin Archive example  CNG E- Au 441 , Lot 250 ,   ( IF I am looking at the one you mean )


I provided an example of 136  from different CA sales in PM .
My best wishes.
