drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 06/19/2013 11:20 pm We cannot call them absolutely Persian too. We can better call them "Perso Arabic" rather. Arabic punctuation marks are different from what we can find on Mughal coins. A little bit of Urdu influence also is there in the latter issues. Here is a link discussing on books useful to decipher script on Mughal coins.Hope that will be useful. http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/in...topic=6502.0 Report this Post to the Staff
