Ilkhanate & Timurids coins - help with ID
« on: August 23, 2011, 12:19:01 pm »
Hello!  :)

I'll be very glad for any information about these coins.

#1 - the seller wrote that this is a Ilkhanate double dirham from 14th century.



Weight: 5.15 g
Diameter: about 22 mm

#2 - the seller wrote that this is a Timurids tanka from 14th/15th century.



Weight: 5.02 g
Diameter: about 22 mm

Unfortunately I'm not able to find any similar coins to these two at zeno.ru - maybe you can help me.

Thanks for help:)

PS. I've asked about these coins at CCF and one user hinted that they could be Timurid tankas, from the time of Shahrukh, roughly 1425-1450 AD.

Yes, they're both tankas of Shahrukh.  On the first coin the mint and date are off the flan at the bottom line of the obverse.  The second coin is an undated issue from the Kashan mint.  See Zeno 22019 and 48306.
