Babar Valued Member Pakistan 207 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 03:16 am You had the coin upside-down. I don't exactly know the origin of the coin, but I think the date (as shown in the first image) is 949, which would convert to 1543 in the Gregorian calendar. The side shown in the second image has the islamic declaration of faith: "There is no god but God and Muhammad is the Prophet of God" Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 08:53 am It is a silver rupee from the Dehli Sultanate, during the Suri Dynasty. The date is actually 959 (AD 1551), making it from the reign of Islam Shah. It's a "mintless" type with the number "1477" at the top of the obverse, a number which nobody seems to be able to explain or interpret. Here's an example on the zeno.ru database. The type is listed in the Goron & Goenka catalogue of Indian Sultanates coins as number D980, rated as "very common". 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
