I seem to recognize this coin, can you compare with this picture : This is : 1 tanka AH919/1513AD ruler : Sultan Sikandar Lodi (born Nizam Khan) Mint : Delhi Billon 8,9gr, Diam 17,8mm, Dikte 4,7mm reference : D706 Obv : al-mutawakkil 'ala'lrahmansikandar shah bin bahlul shah sultan Rev : fi zaman amir al-mu'minin khulidat khilafauhu, You can find similar coins here : http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database...of_Delhi.htm date 919 partially off-flan : The rectangle one is probably also from India. A lot of coins were hammered with a die bigger than the mint plate. So it is sometimes very difficult to identify. You can compare the coins on this site : http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database...es/India.htm Edited by Petrus 07/03/2014 4:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Please send the pictures of the second coin to http://www.zeno.ru/ http://www.chiefacoins.com/Contact.htm They will be happy to help Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 5:45 pm I found this silver coin. It look indeed like the second coin above. The date is fixed : AH978 (1571AD) Jadeja dynasty Nawanagar princely state Jam Shri Satalji 1569-1593 Under the rule of Muzaffar shah III from Gujarat Note that some coins were hammered with a die bigger than the flan and that some dies were used for different coins and materials.
