There is a group of ten of them, detectorist finds I understand, and these are the ones with most detail remaining. I would be very grateful for an indication of origin and vintage please if anyone can help. Many thanks. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 11:02 am Early modern coins from the Islamic sphere of influence. They are very likely from Mughal or Princely State India, ca. 1500-1850, but could be from Egypt or the Middle East. I would reach out to drnsreedhar. He is our resident expert in Princely State coinage. Report this Post to the Staff

That is where @drnsreehar hangs out sometimes. By the way, he has several excellent threads that you may find interesting and educational. You may even recognize your own coins' design on one of his pics. Here are a few of his threads: http://goccf.com/t/261679 http://goccf.com/t/93062 http://goccf.com/t/94915 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
