Doubt about the year of minting of an islamic (afghan) coin

Hi!

I'm starting a collection of Islamic coins and I'm still having some difficulty classifying them.

In a lot that I recently acquired, there was a coin that I believe to be an Afghan falus, with catalog code Km-37 according to the seventh edition of the Standard Catalog of World Coins 1801-1900. However, it was minted in four different years according to the Islamic calendar: AH 1274, AH 1275, AH 1277 and AH 1278. How can I identify the year this coin was minted?

It is 20 mm in diameter and weighs 7.43 grams.

I thank you in advance for your attention and help.

Kind regards,

Raul

Islamic signifies a religion, the coin (token) is maybe in Arabic script. 

Hi, Sjoelund!

I believe the writing is Perso-Arabic because it is from the Afghanistan region. That's why I can't just put it as an Arab coin. The question of mentioning it being an Islamic coin comes precisely from my doubt: the calendar used is Hijri (AH), which is the Islamic calendar. It is worth remembering that not all Arabic coins used the Islamic calendar as a basis and the books that cover these coins, many of them describe them collectively as Mohammedan coins.

Kind regards,

Raul

@Raul:

I've looked but I don't see the date.  I think it's probably lost in the corrosion or needs to be looked at in person.  From what I've seen (and I could be wrong) but the first two digits are assumed (12) and the last two digits would be on the coin.  So, in this instance you would be looking for a 74, 75, 77 or 78.   I couldn't find any of these in Zeno to compare it to, but I did see some similar ones on a few online stores when I searched.  

If you aren't able to figure out the date, you can still add it to your Numista account.  When you do, click on the dates (encircled in blue) and right above it is an undetermined option that you can opt for.   

However, perhaps another member can see the date and jump in.  

Best,
