ANCIENT CENTRAL ASIA: Byzantine Style, AV burial bracteate (0.15g), 6th-8th century, XF
ANCIENT CENTRAL ASIA: Byzantine Style, AV burial bracteate (0.15g), 6th-8th century, imitating an early Byzantine solidus, cuirassed bust facing, wearing plumed helmet, XF, ex Edward W. Rataj Collection, ex CNG e-Auction 436, Lot 322 (part). Gold burial pieces come almost exclusively from Central Asia and adjacent areas south and east centered around the Silk Road. They are either bracteate or two-sided, and we now believe that they first appeared in about the 4th or 5th century with the design derived from Roman solidi, then became relatively common during the 6th-8th century based on Byzantine solidi, with the Byzantine style likely continuing to be copied into the 10th century or even later. Another group are based on Sogdian or Hunnic models and likely dated from the 7th to 9th or 10th century. We have also seen examples derived from Samanid, Seljuq, Khwarizmshah, Chaghatayid, and generic Arabic dinars, presumably from the 10th to at least the 14th century. These were normally used as burial pieces, places upon the deceased.

The third Anglo - Maratha war (the Pindari war) ended in 1818 AD, with the defeat of the Marathas at the hands of the British East India Company forces led by Governor General Hastings. The Peshwas were defeated at the Battle of Khadki (Kirkee) on 5 November 1817 near Pune (Poona) and the city was seized by the British. It was placed under the administration of the Bombay Presidency. This type was struck from 1820-44, and issued by the EIC after the war ended in 1818. They were issued in the name of the Mughal Emperor so they would be accepted by the local people. The Fasli Era has a 12 month calendar from July to June. Adding 590 to Fasli year = Gregorian calendar (AD). Fasli which means harvest is derived from the Arabic term for division, which in India was applied to the groupings of the seasons. The Fasli Calendar is a chronological system introduced by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The 'nagphani' (serpent hood) mint mark resembles the spectacle markings on the hood of a cobra.

John Prinsep opened a copper mint at Pulta in 1780 under authority of the government, after he and Alexander Cunningham discovered the copper mines at Rotasgarh. The mint operated from 1780 to 1786. By 1788 Prinsep left India and decamped for home, arriving in London with an enormous £40,000 fortune, primarily derived from his indigo ventures, which he used to set himself up in business as an East India agent and Italian silk merchant, a step made easier by his role as an East India Company shareholder.

MADRAS PRESIDENCY: AE cash (1.16g), 1733, KM-302, East India Company issue, balemark on reverse, PCGS graded XF40. Soon after its creation, the United East India Company began to use a balemark, which identified its products as they arrived in busy ports or were sold on the trading floor. Initially a simple mark, this evolved by the 1700s into a heart shaped figure (denoting good luck) surmounted by a figure 4 (symbolizing Agnus Dei - 'Lamb of God') and containing the initials of the company, VEIC, with the letter U Latinized. This symbol became known as "the chop", a word derived from the Hindi word 'chap', which means stamp. From the late 17th century to the early 19th century the exchange rate was 80 cash equaling 1 fanam, with 36 fanams equaling 1 pagoda.

During the reign of Emperor Xian Feng, the Baoding mint in Zhili Province began producing iron cash coins due to copper shortages and military crises caused by the Taiping Rebellion.

The original series was cast during the reign of Kang Xi with a single Chinese character on the right and single Manchu character on the left on the reverse representing the mint name. The complete set of all 20 coin are always placed in the following order to create a traditional mnemonic poem made from the names of 20 regional mints,"Tóng fú lín dong jiang xuan yuán su jì chang nán níng hé guang zhè tái guì shan yún zhang." It has no literal story meaning, but the 20 characters rhyme in classical Chinese. In our opinion, this example is a later casting, likely in the late Qing or Min Guo (Republic) era.

CHINA: SINKIANG: Dzungar Khanate: Tsewang Rabdan, 1691-1727, AE pul (7.84g), Yarkand, Choice VF
SINKIANG: Dzungar Khanate: Tsewang Rabdan, 1691-1727, AE pul (7.84g), Yarkand, Cr-36-7.2, XN-178/79, cast in teardrop shape with legends siban hun-tai-chi // zarb yarkand, a few small spots of old corrosion on edge, attractive bold details, Choice VF, ex Dr. Dirk Löer Collection. The Dzungar Khanate (Zunghar or Jungarian Khanate), 1634-1755, was an Inner Asian khanate of Oirat Mongol origin. At its greatest extent, it covered an area from southern Siberia in the north to present-day Kyrgyzstan in the south, and from the Great Wall of China in the east to present-day Kazakhstan in the west. The core of the Dzungar Khanate is today part of northern Xinjiang, also called Dzungaria. In 1755, the Manchus took advantage of a Dzungar civil war to conquer Dzungaria. The complete destruction of the Dzungars led to the Qing conquest of Mongolia, Tibet, and the creation of Xinjiang as a political administrative unit. Siban (Chiban) is a distortion of Tsewang Rabdan's name, with his title Khun-tai-chi (the title of Mongol feudal lords and crown princes) originating from Chinese phrase huang taizi.
