Iranian silver coin identification?

[universalcurrency]

Hi

Anyone have any expertise with Iranian silver coins?  I think these are Iranian silver dinars other than that I know very little....

Yes they are Persian coins - if you do a Google image search on Persian coins you will find examples and can piece together what they are.

Somewhere I have a Persian date converter for when I wanted to date the age of my Persian Mauser rifle, as Persian had its own calender much like the Japanese did.

This might help until I can find it,

 I posted a topic sometime ago about an app called Coinoscope that enables you to search for coins with your phone camera.

Seems like every day theres another reason to get a smartphone, personally I loathe them for many of the reasons discussed on the forum.  That said they are handy for things like this.

Yep, I think you hit the nail on the head silverfinger, women are pretty much attached to their phones from birth. 🤣

So easy to make appointments or send texts without even getting your phone out of your pocket though when you have a smart phone.

Very true in my case...

That's what makes it even better, the fact you just speak to thin air and the phone converts it to text.  Some people still give you strange looks in this day and age.

Middle one looks like it has a 2 on it so it is probably a 2 rial/ryal iranian coin
