Director Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 01/24/2020 02:55 am Hello Folks: Can anyone please help me with identifying this coin? Is this a real or a fake coin? The weight is about 11.6 gms. All I could figure out is the mint which I think is Shahjahanabad. KM number or any other catalog number would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much!
