Attribution

Correct Attribution
AH1390 (1971) \u2014 KM# 9
Incorrect Attribution (as labeled)
AH1391 (1971) \u2014 different Hijra year issue

Impact

Incorrect population data for both AH1390 and AH1391 issues. May mislead collectors and registries about the actual year.

Notes

The Gregorian year 1971 straddles both AH1390 and AH1391. NGC apparently defaulted to AH1391 without verifying the actual Hijra date struck on the coin.
