NUMBERING TABLE TO DECIPHER SIKH AND ISLAMIC COINS

THE DATES ON THE SIKH COINS MAY BE DECODED USING THE TABLE BELOW.

One thing you will need to note is that the dating system on SIKH coins was based on the Hindu Lunar calender, the Vikrami Sambat(VS) era. Therefore you will need to deduct 57 years from the date on the coin to get the Christian (AD) era.

For example:

1884 VS(Vikrami Sambat) era will become 1827 AD(Christian era)

Should anyone need additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes
