Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 11/21/2011 8:31 pm Continuing from the last post, this one is labelled Kashmir Rupee about 1850. Next one says India Rupee about 1128 Time for one more tonight....this one says Probably India Square rupees. Thanks for looking! Any thoughts appreciated.

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 11/23/2011 3:01 pm Top images are of a coin of the "Sikh Empire". The upper image of the two bears date 1902 Vikram samvatsara, equalling 1845.AD. This side agrees with one side of KM#51 of Krause under Sikh empire. The legend on the other side of the coin (shown below the previous) reads "Nanak", the name of the founder Guru dev of the Sikh religion. This side does not match with the illustration in the Krause, but the legend confirms its origin. Next one is an Indian coin in the name of Shah Alam-II, issued in the year 1178.AH.Its mint name reads Muradabad, a rare coin from that point of view. On this side, regnal year is shown as 6. Third and fourth images are of temple tokens. Edited by drnsreedhar 11/23/2011 3:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 11/23/2011 5:51 pm Many thanks! I will try to post a few more in the coming days. Any sense at all of values? Report this Post to the Staff
drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 11/23/2011 10:38 pm I consider myself very weak in costing of coins. Still in my guess, the Muradabad coin is worth about 50-60 USD. You can find this coin catalogued in the Krause as KM#76.3, under the Rohilkhand state issues.About the Sikh coin, frankly, I have no idea. The tokens are not worth much above bullion. Rohilkhand was a state during the later Mughals situated in the present day Uttarpradesh state of India. Report this Post to the Staff
Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 1:05 pm First two coins denomination is correct. Value of these is about US$10-25, depending on the land you live in. Here in Belgium you will get about US$15-20 for the first two. Perhaps you will find your Sikh coin here: http://www.sikhcoins.com/List4b%20S...27032013.pdf The third and fourth coins are very similar. I think these are Akbar Sunnite temple coins They can be silver, but other metals (bullion) are possible.. Around the square of the coins are the names of the four caliphs: You can see one of my coin here: http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?ph...&ppuser=2181 The kalimah is an islam verse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Kalimas but only the first is most used on coins. The date is AH988 = 1580AD, but I doubt if these temple coins are that old. The date is written as 9M in the middle of the coin. There are many varieties, even in the names around the square. If you want to compare with other coins, and prices you should check this: https://www.google.be/search?q=akba...CvEQ_AUIBigB or this one: (very usefull) http://indiannumismatics.com/products.php?id=172, but this site mentions 92. That is not correct (should be 9M) I have paid US$20 for my square coin (in fact a little bit to much) On some islamic coins you will see the number 92 (written in arabic). This is actually the numeric presentation of the name of Mohammad: In Islam, it is not proper that the Muslims touch the name of the prophet with their hands. Therefore, the name of the prophet is represented by the numerical sum: Mim + Ha + Mim + Dal = 40 + 8 + 40 + 4 = 92 I like indian coin like these! Report this Post to the Staff

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 01/11/2016 10:57 am Thanks to Petrous and Bacchus2 for reviving this one! I can't believe that you found this old post...it is nearly 5 years old. I continue to find old Indian coins to be very challenging. This helps nail down a few of them!! Report this Post to the Staff
