Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 9:43 pm I do think possibly Fath Shah (Kashmir Sultanate), 1487-1517, for #2. But I'm far from certain...it's not my area. drnsreedhar is the one to check with. I recommend sending him a message. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 9:53 pm First is definitely a punchmarked coin, but I am not recognizing the symbols, especially the one that looks like a curly S (I would say the Slipknot logo, but not many know what I am talking about) 3 I think is a late Bull and Horseman jital. You can see the saddle on Nandi the bull, and a bit of the decorations on the horse's rump. Here is my early example: The late examples are more stylized with more of the design off flan.

Yeah it looks close to a match. https://www.marudhararts.com/e-auct...ltanate.html https://www.marudhararts.com/e-auct...ltanate.html Report this Post to the Staff
drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 06/06/2017 04:04 am First coin is silver PMC. Fixing the ruler is very difficult. Second coin is as pointed out by BobL, Fath shah for sure. Third coin is from Kangra. There will be "samanta deva" written above the stylised bull and above the highly stylised Horseman name of the ruler has gone off flan. In this variety of coins, it is very rare to get coins with full legend. Hope this helps. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
