Much to my surprise I cannot get a match on numista. One side is the standard Islamic statement of faith, the other side presumably has the name of the emperor. It appears that there are numbers 1171 on image one. Edited by oriole 04/24/2026 5:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7933 Posts	Posted 04/23/2026 7:55 pm I struck out on acsearch, too. That pentafoil (for lack of a better word) in photo 1 is unusual I am no expert on this part of the numismatic world... probably we need someone who can read some of the inscriptions (to determine the mint). But it feels more like Iran/Afghanistan than India to me. Mohur of Qajar dynasty, Muhammad Hassan, Isfahan mint, AH 1171, Album N2826: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=13486777 Mohur of Zand dynasty, Karim Khan, Kashan mint, Album 2787: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=12724611 Sometimes design elements (like circle versus pentafoil) differed between mints.

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 04/26/2026 10:53 am I think your attribution is correct. Here's one quite similar to yours, possibly with a different mintmark at 9 o'clock on the second photo. Akbar gold mohur, AH 971, Agra mint https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=85215 Edited by Seeker55 04/26/2026 10:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
