Afghanistan, AE Falus, Sar-i-Pul mint

[capnbirdseye]

I can read falus & ra'ij on one side but the remainder worn off. might be the end of the date visible

The other side shows the mint but I cannot make it out as it's clearly not Kabul but more likely ending in pul

Maybe this is not Afghan or Iranian but  central Asian?


5.35g,  27mm

I had a rummage around my catalogue of pre-modern central Asian coins but didn't find anything...

Dear Vic, on the second photo it reads: " Zarb pol ضرب پل ", pol means bridge and the mint place could be " Amir Bridge امیر پل " wherever that is or something else? At least we know that the mint place includes the word " Bridge ".

That's an unusual mint saro,  several examples on zeno give it as sar-i-pul, all extremely crude compared to this one which also bears the word ra'ij

An unpublished type it seems ! in pretty condition
The city / province name is alternatively translated as "Sar-i Pol / Sar-e Pol / Sar-i Pul"; S. Album has adopted "Sar-i Pol"
