Civic Copper with Sun

[maudry]

I believe this is rather Afghanistan than Iran but I completely failed to identify a mint. Herat has some coins with the sunface but those I found are different, more sun, less rays.
It has been struck over a coin with a sword.

There is an Indian state coin series with this sun. Can't find it but I am sure it's on WoC.

May be you thought to this one ?
But I think that Maudry's coin isn't indian but well afghan.

That looks like it, but I am thinking of another series, where the sunface is the central part of the design.

Hi Peter,
Do you have these coins in mind?

[Figleaf]

Yes! That's what I was thinking of. Thank you.

I remember Russian coins being overstruck in Iran or Afghanistan. I get the impression the city mints didn't care much what the coin looked like before overstriking it, though they probably cared about its weight. I think Indian coins would have been overstruck with the same speed as those of neighbouring cities.
