Kashmir was annexed to the Mughal Empire in 1586.AD. Even before that, Kahmir became submissive to Mughal rule. Coins were issued in the style of the Sultans bearing Akbar's name. Later coins of Akbar are like those coins he issued from elsewhere and bear the mint name Sreenagar.   Edited by drnsreedhar

During the fifth reign of Muhammad Shah, there was a successful invasion from Kashghar. Some coins are now attributed to Said Khan who was the ruler of Kashghar. This takes a bit of imagination rather than reading script as G&G has very rightly remarks. This one is similar to coin no. K89of Goron and Goenka. This one is a very crude coin.  Probably the script is read like  |

A coin attributed to Sikandar shah. Scarce coins though these are, information on who actually struck them is still obscure. It was considered to be of Sikandar (1493-1513.AD) but evidence is not supportive. Now it is considered that these could be issued by Sikandar, son of Fath Shah or issued by Muhammad Shah in the name of Sikandar Lodi of Delhi.   |

Great thread drnsreedhar... I picked up these 2 but I'm unsure about the top coin? Top coin I think might be Ibrahim? But I'm really unsure?! Bottom coin I'm reasonably sure is Fath Shah? And what is actually written on the reverse of theses coins? Thanks Paul  |

You are right on both of your inferences. Top one is of Ibrahim and the lower of Fath. Congratulations!

The only reason I attributed these correctly was because of the information you've given in this thread..So thanks to you  |

Thank you Palouche for your motivating kind words. I have tried an overlay of your image.  There was some confusion of the image due to file override. I have corrected it. Edited by drnsreedhar

What alphabet is used on these coins? It look like Arabic but then it does not. Does not look like Hindi either.

Generally it is Perso Arabic script. On princely state coins, there is influence of a little Urdu, I presume. For eg.   Edited by drnsreedhar

Hi drnsreedhar...Wondering if you could just check my attributions on these latest two purchases...Went through your thread and feel reasonably confident they match yours? One question ..What are the coins that link the last hindu rulers to the first Muslim rulers?.... I'm trying to link these Kashmir Sultanate coins to my Kashmir Hindu rulers set as closely as possible. Any advise?....Thanks Paul Coin 1..Zain al abdin 1413-1470 AD  Coin 2..Hassan Shah 1472-1484 AD Apart from the rulers name it seems that Hussan's coins are slightly different in design as the horizontal break like has a simple circle whereas the other rulers have a more decorative diamond shape..Any reason for this?  |

Hello Paul, greetings from India.
Thanks for your post. Both your attributions are right.
Reason for the circular knot on Hussain coins had aroused my interest also but has not seen this explained in any of the books so far!
Regarding the change over from Hindu rulers to the Muslim, there is a link when one Hindu Queen was married by a Muslim ruler who previously used to work for the Crown. I will try to collect some more information on this for you.

Thats great..Thanks.
Basically my last coin from my Hindu kashmir series as you know is Sri Jaga Deva (1198-1213 AD)...And my earliest Sultanate coin is Zain al abdin (1413-1470 AD)...So I have this void of 200 years that I'm trying to bridge as best I can...I know of coins affiliated to Lakshmanadeva (1273-1286 AD) But this still leaves a big gap of about 127 years!..Any help will be really appreciated...Thanks again Paul.
