Any help identifying this coin would be greatly appreciated It was originally labeled C.1554 Bengal Sultanate, but I could not corroborate this. Coin is 22 MM, 12.0 Grams. Tried NGC for identification, but it came back ineligible ...Cheers * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling.

Indian coins are difficult enough for me to read at the best of times; this one is double-struck on the reverse, making it even harder. Still, I'll see if I can make some sense of it. 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

And whoever described it as "C.1554 Bengal Sultanate" was, apparently, just guessing. Coins from the Bengal Sultanate circa 1554 look more like this.
