HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25747 Posts	Posted 06/19/2026 08:36 am I see a "12.." - that should help narrow it down. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Keep reading - there's two more numbers there, giving you the full date: "1281". 1281 in the Islamic calendar converts to roughly AD 1864/5. Which in turn means that it's not actually Mughal. It's from either Iran or Afghanistan, I suspect. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7968 Posts	Posted 06/21/2026 08:20 am I would also guess Iran as the weight seems to fit a qiran/kran better than some fraction of a rupee? But I also came up blank over on Numista. I would think that flower at the left would be recognizable. Report this Post to the Staff
