Answer 1

In general, coins will have the year of issue on it, but not always. For example, Spanish coins minted from 1868 to 1982 carries the year of authorization as the main date instead of the year of issue; the latter appears only in tiny letters.

Coins from The State of Bahrain uses the Hejira(AH) and the Christian date equivalent both indicated in Arabic numerals. But I couldn't find any Bahraini coin dated AH1315 from my coin book. If your coin has 1385 instead, then it is the year 1965, the period between May 2, 1965 and April 22, 1966. The timing differentials between the 354-day Mohammedan and 365-day Christian years can cause situations whereby coins which carries dates for both eras exist bearing two year dates from one calendar combined with a single date from another.

As for the value, it depends on which coin you have.

UPDATE :
Ok, you have a 1/4 anna from Muscat & Oman(Sultanate of Muscat and Imamate of Oman) dated AH1315 (AD 1897). Value in worn condition is $3, and in average circulated condition without any surface damage, verdigris or corrosion is from $5 to $10. Nicely circulated with sharp details and traces of mint luster is valued at $18 and above.

Answer 2

There is something wrong here, for Bahrain uses an AH date that is Mohammedan Era. 1315 would have started on June 2 1897. The country did not exist at that time, with the name it has now. Are you sure you are not reading the Arabic numbers on the coin and they look like 1315. Actually the country has not issued a lot of coins, so if you could tell me what is on both sides, I may be of more help.

Answer 3

Well I'm assuming you mean Bahrain.Which is a small island in the persian gulf.Would expect such coin to have arabic symbols.If the coin is genuine it's almost 800yrs old.Take it to a reputable coin dealer to be appraised

Answer 4

Take it to a trusted coin dealer for apprasal to see first if its real and then if he seems to offer you a price, beware for it most likely worth alot more than he is offering , for sure
