Pratihara & Amirs of Sindh (?)

2 posts
Hi,

As usual, i'm asking if i have ID-ed the coins correctly. :)

1.  1 Drachm - Mihara Bhoja I (Adivaraha) Pratiharas, Boar series


3,79 grams

I am almost certain my coin is this: http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=23563
Is my coin the same as the one on numista ? : https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces53960.html
Just a different strike area ?

2. 1 Dirham - Amirs of Sindh


0,55 grams (it's tiny !)

There are few of these on numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/islamic-caliphates-1.html#devise2114
Could it be one of these ?

I don't like Kufi script ... Is there anything written on my coin that could help ID it ?
Zeno hasn't been very helpfull this time, most coins look like those on numista. If anything it confused me even more. From what i've seen, it could also be from the Al-Andalus Ummayads or Almoravids. The weight of my coin seems important - i couldn't find such tiny coins from the Spanish caliphates. Any help with this one would be welcome.

Thank you for your time :)
1. Yes the Numista coin is same as yours.

2. This is the closest one in my opinion. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces38945.html
 The best book to refer to for this type of coins is this one i believe, http://www.amazon.com/Oriental-Coins-their-Values-Islam/dp/0904173151

See if you can get hold of it and look for exact catalog number.
