Here's another coin I picked up quite a few years back now...

This one was picked up from Tabo in the Spiti valley of northern India (beautiful place!).

I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify / age this coin too?

Weight: 4.2 grams

Seems to be from the Khilji Dynasty.

Similar to the Jalal al-din Firuz, second coin here:

and second coin here:

Also very similar to the ninth coin, Alauddin Khilji, on that last (coincommunity) page. This may the match. Cut and paste below:

Bob - wow, thank you! That looks like a pretty conclusive match. Though I wish mine was in the same condition as the comparison coin.

Thanks again, Gavin.
