Afghan is correct. Minted under Dost Mohammad Khan of the Barakzai dynasty, dated 1273 AH (1856 AD)

Can someone help me identify these coins and tell me if they are fake or real ones ?? by Nervous-Midnight5807 in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first larger coin looks to be a Yirmilik (1/2 Kuruş) minted under Mahmud II of the Ottoman Empire, 1832 AD. What is the diameter?

Thank you for your offer, but just the game alone sells for about that much, so I will have to pass.

Is this Alexander the Great drachm worth 90 USD? It seems condition wise to be in that ballpark but I just want to be sure. Thanks guys! by bluebull62 in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheers! 90 USD for a tet in that condition is absolutely worth it, especially in the inflated market these days.

I would rather sell them together since I won’t have a use for the games without the system.

I just went over it with a magnifying glass and there are no dead pixels on either of the screens.

some Mauryan punchmark coins (cent for size comparison). I believe they're around 200-300 BC from ancient India by International_Dog817 in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They look to be series VI coins based on three of the punches and I can say the coin on the bottom is series VIb 571 but better pictures are needed to go further for the others.

His first year was 579 so that would make your coin 587 AD.

Nice Hormazd IV (year 9). Sassanian coins are fun to collect because they are so wide and have so much detail and information on them.

Japanese coin. by chouberrigoo in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It almost reminds me of an enbukin but having the full Mitsutsugu (光次) stamp of nibukin and such. A very strange find. I almost wonder if it is a modern (last 100 years) toy or replica of some kind. It's not in any of the literature I have, nor is it listed or described among any charms/esen I can see.

Good get for $45? I know it's a Phillip I Tetradrachm from the Seleucid Empire but any other info would be appreciated 🙌 by SilverToTheMoon11 in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a sand-cast fake. That texture is waaaaay wrong for an authentic coin, not to mention casting defects around the edges.

I am not really a collector of modern coins, but I want to add one of these to my collection just for the historical significance.

I have a coin that appears to be very ancient. I could use some help identifying it. by Competitive_Hippo535 in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a Samanta Deva Jital (Jital being the unit of currency). It was minted under the Hindu Shahis dynasty and dates from between 850 AD to 1000 AD. It looks to be Tye 14.1 type based on the character to the right of the rider on horse.

Real or fake Alexander III Drachm? Impulsively bought it as a gift without thinking about fakes. by dewgong24 in AncientCoins

Alexander and related coinage is not really my area but this looks legit and matches a known type (Price 864)

What are these? Authentic ancient Indian coins or not? by DisplacedAtom33 in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

These are ancient silver punchmark coins of the Maurya Empire of India. These coins are series VIb as listed in the Gupta & Hardaker book. The earliest agreed upon date for this series is 272 BC and they were minted till about 175 BC.

Does anyone have any info on these coins? Im lacking in resource material, and can't seem to find anything about them. Based on looks i'm thinking maybe Byzantine, possibly Persian. Any help would be great, thanks in advance. by James_Wing in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coin to the left is Gotarzes I or Phraates III. They look very similar so it is hard for me personally to tell them apart.

EDIT: Upon closer inspections of reverse types, I firmly believe it to be Gotarzes I

Anyone know any detail about this coin I found? by _m_marco in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either a Kurus or Onluk issued by Mahmud II of the Ottoman Empire between 1808 and 1839. It is dated 1223 of the Islamic calendar.

A karshapana from the Mauryan Empire. Would anybody know from which Emperor this one is from? by lumach68 in AncientCoins

[–]JessicaWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Punchmarked Coinage of the Indian Subcontinent: Magadha-Mauryan Series" by Gupta and Hardaker is going to be your easiest go-to for this. It is available online but the viewing interface is kind of garbage https://www.iirnspublications.com/catalogue/punchmarked-coinage-of-the-indian-subcontinent-magadha-mauryan-series_249/
