Unfortunately, your coin is not Unc or AU. It can be difficult to tell wear on hand-struck coins such as this that are purely Arabic/Persian script, but the script is supposed to be well rounded in form; on your coin, it's quite flat, so I'd grade it VF at best. 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

The mintmark on this coin, visible on the right hand side of your top pic, is a picture of a plant - specifically, a "jhar" plant (I knew that there were several States that used this mintmark). I could also read the date as 1911. There is a second date-numeral on your coin, "32", meaning the 32nd year of reign of the prince named on the coin. So I just searched Google images for "1911 32 rupee jhar" and several examples, including an NGC database coin, were on the first page. Easy, when you know how. 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
