referred to as hexadrachms owing to the contrast in weight with the
comparatively light tetradrachms struck contemporaneously in the

tetradrachms. However labeled, their size and purity are testament
to the prosperity of the Boii on the eve of Roman domination of the
region. The present type, associated with the beginning of the
series, displays an obverse copied from the denarii of Q. Fufius
Kalenus and Mucius Cordus (Crawford 403/1).

The first 3 letters of the Arabic word compare to the first 3 letters of

Umayyad fulus of that mint. It seems plausible that despite the
different final 2 letters, the word is a form of the city name Dar’at

This mint name refers to the tribe, the Banu Tanukh, rather
than a physical location. Walker and others previously misread it as
Saruj, a city near Harran, but this name is consistently spelled
without the extra tooth that would be required for Saruj and
without the R after the S. Besides, Saruj is located outside the
region of Halab (Aleppo).

neither a standard Byzantine follis nor an imitation from elsewhere,
confirmed by the die-match to the specimen published by Pottier.

Antioch was conquered by the Persian armies in October 610 and
held for nearly 19 years, until the summer of 629. Coins were struck
at their established mint, presumably Antioch (Theoupolis), imitating
contemporary Byzantine copper coins, mostly commonly types of
Heraclius & Constantine, but also some earlier types of Justin II &
Sophia, Maurice Tiberius and Phocus. They bear regnal years that 227. UMAYYAD: AE fals (2.29g), al-Rayy, AH121, A-204, Miles-32

This is clearly a purely Abbasid issue, even though the Banijurd
ruler Muhammad b. Ahmad was presumably in charge. Until now,
the latest Banijurid dirham known to us of pure Abbasid style is
dated AH273. Since the name of the local ruler could appear on
either obverse or reverse at this time, it is possible that mis-matched
obverse & reverse dies were used for this piece, thus omitting the
name of Muhammad b. Ahmad.

Since the Abbasid caliph did not control Egypt, this Egyptian jeton

intended for the full dirham, cf. SNAT-5, VF-EF, RRR $150 - 190 of the specimen illustrated by Balog, VF, RRR $1,500 - 2,000
Balog listed this as an issue of the Bahri Mamluks during the reign
of Aybak, which is technically correct, but as it cites only his nominal
Ayyubid overlord, without mentioning Aybak, it seems more
appropriate to classify it as Ayyubid.
Both attributions are acceptable.

Although clearly a coin of Byzantine style, the lack of any Christian
motifs and the position of the praying figure strongly suggest a
Muslim origin, and the most likely might be the early Seljuqs of
Rum, up to and including Mas’ud I (1116-1156), whose named
epigraphic issue retains the normal Christian figures (A-1192).

It was active as an Ottoman mint only for about 20 years, during the
reigns of Selim I and Süleyman I, plus a few later anonymous
coppers. Before the Ottoman conquest, it has served as a late
Aq Qoyunlu and very early Safavid mint.

The State of Chu was an ancient Chinese state in the Yangtze
valley during the Zhou Dynasty. Originally Chu was considered
a viscounty but, starting from King Wu in the early 8th century BC,
the rulers of Chu declared themselves kings on an equal footing
with the Zhou rulers. Originally known as Jing and then as Jingchu,
Chu occupied vast areas of land at its height, including most of the
present-day provinces of Hubei and Hunan, along with parts of
Chongqing, Guizhou, Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang,
and Shanghai.
The hao in the reverse inscription shi hao probably refers to ten
ant nose type coins. These spades are thick and robust with
well developed rims all the way around, with a large round
hole in the top. 727. WARRING STATES: Anonmyous, 400-220 BC, AE knife

Like other provincial mints in the late Qing Dynasty, the mint in Zhili
was producing 1,000 regulation struck cash coins at the cost of
2,237 cash and thus losing a great deal on the production of these
coins. This explains the rarity of most provincial struck square hole
cash coins, with the exception of Guangdong and Fujian provinces.
Most mints returned to casting cash coins as the costs of using
western machinery to produce them was not cost effective.

upheavals of the Taiping Rebellion by Liu Lichuan. He took the nien
hao (reign title) of Tian Yun (heavenly movement). It was one of a
number of rebel groups to arise during this period, either affiliated
with or proclaiming support for the rebel Taiping administration. The
name (“Small Swords”) refers to daggers used by warriors or martial
artists in close combat. It is believed to be linked to triads. The
society consisted mainly of natives from Guangdong and Fujian,
including Li Shaoqing, Li Xianyun and Pan Yiguo, directors of some
of the huiguan or native place associations of Shanghai. Liu Lichang
was killed in February 1855. Those caught in possession of these

In 1928 the most modern minting machinery available was
delivered to the newly constructed mint in Bhuj. The old mint was
located just outside the fort walls of the palace, whereas the new
mint was built near the Mahadeva Gate. New dies were created
similar to the previous issue, but with smaller Gujarati legends and
finer engraved leaves within the wreath on the obverse. It was likely
that specimen sets were struck for the occasion of the opening of
the new mint.
This is the only example of an extant set that we are aware of.

During World War II, Normandie was seized by US authorities at

while being converted to a troopship, capsized onto her port side
and came to rest on the mud of the Hudson River at Pier 88, the site
of the current New York Passenger Ship Terminal. Although

2978. Altekar, A. S., Coinage of the Gupta Empire; Volume IV,
Banaras 1957, Numismatic Society of India, Banaras Hindu
University, 390 pages, 92 plates, hardcover, with dust jacket,
for the past 50+ years this book remains the bible of Gupta
Coin classification. It comprehensively lists all the coin types
and varieties of Gupta Gold coins. This book was compiled by
Dr. A.S. Altekar over a period of years and is truly a must have
for any library that wants to cover Indian Coins. To date, there
is no other book that covers the entirity of Gupta Numismatics
in such depth. While there is debate on some inconsistencies in
the different classifications used by Dr. Altekar, it still remains
as complete a work as possible and is the standard work on the
series, scarce and hard to find $120 - 150
