Sultanate of the Maldives - help needed please! [решено]

Good morning, everybody. I am in need of your help in deciphering this coin. I am sure it is a 1/2 Larin of the Sultanate. Yet I cannot find the AH date on it, or identify the sultan's name. Any assistance would be much appreciated.



Regards, Alex Lockwood.

This looks like it is a Maldives half larin (Kuda) of Muhammad muin ud-din Iskander, AH 1213-1250 (AD 1798-1835). I'm listing the spelling of the ruler's name as it appears in Krause. It appears to match this coin

if you consider that it is struck higher on the die (so the date at the bottom is left off).

​Thank you, Seeker55. The coin is quite small, so I had to take close-up photos, and then enhance the light and contrast to see the detail. Comparing the photos with the site images, the comparison is close. I suspected that the date was partially or completely struck off. Which is why I have struggled to find it!

Cheers,

PS: I can now update my catalogue :)

The good clear photos helped a lot. It's KM #32.
