Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/05/2014 3:24 pm HI everyone, I think that this Mughal Indian Rupee may be a Shah Jahan, but I'm really not certain of the date or mint. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 12/05/2014 4:22 pm Medieval- ah, so you think that it would have to be Aurangzeb? Are you accidentally counting part of the "box" of hte central design as part of the date? I actually see the date 1032 or 1030, which, I realize now, would actually be Jahangir.

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 12/06/2014 11:02 pm Looks like 1032 to me as well based on the lengths of the upper segments of the last two digits. But it certainly must be 1022, 1023, 1032 or 1033 - those are the only possibilities. Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 8:14 pm Can you post a picture of the numeral you are referring to. I guess I should have figured that Arabic script went through a similar evolution as other numerical scripts. Report this Post to the Staff
