HOW TO USE THIS CATALOG
HOW TO USE THIS CATALOG
This catalog is designed to serve the needs of both the novice and advanced
collectors. It is generally arranged so that persons with no more than a basic knowl-
edge of world history and a casual acquaintance with coin collecting can consult it
with confidence and ease. The following explanations summarize the general prac-
tices used in preparing this catalog's listings.
Some coins carry dates according to both locally observed and Christian eras. This
is particularly true in the Arabic world, where the Hejira date may be indicated in Arabic
numerals and the Christian date in Western numerals, or both dates in either form.
HEJIRA DATE CONVERSION CHART
HEJIRA (Hijira, Hegira), the name of the Muslim era (A.H. = Anno Hegirae)
dates back to the Christian year 622 when Mohammed “fled” from Mecca, escaping
to Medina to avoid persecution from the Koreish tribemen. Based on a lunar year
the Muslim year is 11 days shorter.
*=Leap Year (Christian Calendar)
The date actually carried on a given coin is generally cataloged here in the first
column (Date) to the right of the catalog number. If this date is by a non-Christian
dating system, such as 'AH' (Muslim), the Christian equivalent date will appear in
parentheses(), for example AH1336(1917). Dates listed alone in the date column
which do not actually appear on a given coin, or dates which are known, but do not
appear on the coin, are generally enclosed by parentheses with 'ND' at the left, for
example ND(2001).
Timing differentials between some era of reckoning, particularly the 354-day
Mohammedan and 365-day Christian years, cause situations whereby coins which
carry dates for both eras exist bearing two year dates from one calendar combined
with a single date from another.
Countermarked Coinage is presented with both ‘Countermark Date’ and ‘Host
Coin’ date for each type. Actual date representation follows the rules outlined above.
ARRANGEMENT
Countries are arranged alphabetically. Political changes within a country are
arranged chronologically. In countries where Rulers are the single most significant
political entity, a chronological arrangement by Ruler has been employed. Distinctive
sub-geographic regions are listed alphabetically following the country’s main listings.
Diverse coinage types relating to fabrication methods, revaluations, denomina-
tion systems, non-circulating categories and such have been identified, separated
and arranged in logical fashion. Chronological arrangement is employed for most
circulating coinage. Monetary reforms will flow in order of their institution. Non-cir-
culating types such as Essais, Pieforts, Patterns, Trial Strikes, Mint and Proof sets
will follow the main listings.
Within a coinage type coins will be listed by denomination, from smallest to largest.
Numbered types within a denomination will be ordered by their first date of issue.
IDENTIFICATION
The most important step in the identification of a coin is the determination of the
nation of origin. This is generally easily accomplished where English-speaking
lands are concerned, however, use of the country index is sometimes required.
The coins of many countries beyond the English-language realm, such as those of
French, Italian or Spanish heritage, are also quite easy to identify through reference to
their legends, which appear in the national languages based on Western alphabets. In
many instances the name is spelled exactly the same in English as in the national lan-
guage, such as France; while in other cases it varies only slightly, like Italia for Italy, Bel-
gique or Belgie for Belgium, Brasil for Brazil and Danmark for Denmark.
This is not always the case, however, as in Norge for Norway, Espana for
Spain, Sverige for Sweden and Helvetia for Switzerland. Coins bearing Cyrillic let-
tering are attributable to Bulgaria, Russia, the Slavic states and Mongolia; the
Greek script peculiar to Greece, Crete and the Ionian Islands; the Amharic charac-
ters of Ethiopia; or Hebrew in the case of Israel.
The toughra monogram, occurs on some of the coins of Afghanistan, Egypt, Sudan,
Pakistan, and Turkey. A predominant design feature on the coins of Nepal is the trident;
while neighboring Tibet features a lotus blossom or lion on many of their issues.
DENOMINATIONS
The second basic consideration to be met in the attribution of a coin is the
determination of denomination. Since denominations are usually expressed in
numeric rather than word form on a coin, this is usually quite easily accomplished
on coins from nations which use Western numerals, except in those instances
where issues are devoid of any mention of face value, and denomination must be
attributed by size, metallic composition or weight. Coins listed in this volume are
generally illustrated in actual size.
The sphere of countries stretching from North Africa through the Orient, on
which numeric symbols generally unfamiliar to Westerners are employed, often pro-
vide the collector with a much greater challenge. This is particularly true on nearly
all pre-20th Century issues. On some of the more modern issues and increasingly
so as the years progress, Western-style numerals usually presented in combination
with the local numeric system are becoming more commonplace on these coins.
The included table of Standard International Numeral Systems presents charts
of the basic numeric designations found on coins of non-Western origin. Although
denomination numerals are generally prominently displayed on coins, it must be
remembered that these are general representations of characters, which individual
coin engravers may have rendered in widely varying styles. Where numeric or
script denominations designation forms peculiar to a given coin or country apply,
such as the script used on some Persian (Iranian) issues. They are so indicated or
illustrated in conjunction with the appropriate listings.
DATING
Coin dating is the final basic attribution consideration. Here, the problem can be
more difficult because the reading of a coin date is subject not only to the vagaries
of numeric styling, but to calendar variations caused by the observance of various
religious eras or regal periods from country to country, or even within a country.
Here again, with the exception of the sphere from North Africa through the Orient, it
will be found that most countries rely on Western date numerals and Christian (AD)
era reckoning, although in a few instances, coin dating has been tied to the year of
a reign or government. The Vatican, for example dates its coinage according to the
year of reign of the current pope, in addition to the Christian-era date.
Countries in the Arabic sphere generally date their coins to the Muslim era (AH).
The following table indicates the year dating for the various eras, which corre-
spond to 2009 in Christian calendar reckoning, but it must be remembered that
there are overlaps between the eras in some instances.

MINTAGES
Quantities minted of each date are indicated where that information is available,
generally stated in millions or rounded off to the nearest 10,000 pieces when more
exact figures are not available. On quantities of a few thousand or less, actual mint-
ages are generally indicated. For combined mintage figures the abbreviation “Inc.
Above” means Included Above, while “Inc. Below” means Included Below. “Est.”
beside a mintage figure indicates the number given is an estimate or mintage limit.
METALS
Each numbered type listing will contain a description of the coins metallic con-
tent. The traditional coinage metals and their symbolic chemical abbreviations
sometimes used in this catalog are:
Platinum - (PT)
Copper - (Cu)
Gold - (Au)
Brass -
Silver - (Ag)
Copper-nickel- (CN)
Billion -
Lead - (Pb)
Nickel - (Ni)
Steel -
Zinc - (Zn)
Tin - (Sn)
Bronze - (Ae)
Aluminum - (Al)
Modern commemorative coins have employed still more unusual methods such
as bimetallic coins, color applications and precious metal or gem inlays.
PRECIOUS METAL WEIGHTS
Listings of weight, fineness and actual silver (ASW), gold (AGW), platinum or
palladium (APW) content of most machine-struck silver, gold, platinum and palla-
dium coins are provided in this edition. This information will be found incorporated
in each separate type listing, along with other data related to the coin.
The ASW, AGW or APW figure can be multiplied by the spot price of each pre-
cious metal to determine the current intrinsic value of any coin accompanied by
these designations.
As the silver and gold bullion markets have advanced and declined sharply over
the years, the fineness and total precious metal content of coins has become espe-
cially significant where bullion coins - issues which trade on the basis of their intrin-
sic metallic content rather than numismatic value - are concerned. In many
instances, such issues have become worth more in bullion form than their nominal
collector values or denominations indicate.
BULLION VALUE
The simplest method for determining the bullion value of a precious metal coin
is to multiply the actual precious metal weight by the current spot price for that
