I was thinking of a different Indian coin, but I think this one would give more points...  Sultanate of Delhi, Tughluq dynasty Ghiyath ad-Din Tughluq (reigned 1320-25 AD) 4 gani, dated [72]3? = 1323 AD? Numista 43617Quote: The date 1323 is on the 2x2, and what I see on the coin does not appear to contradict it, but does not necessarily require it either; the upper right end of the supposed 3 is sticking out onto the flan around 8h, and doesn't really look like any digit. Issuer 3 - Any Indian Sultanate Year 2 - 1300-1600, dated or undated Composition 3 - billon (less than 0.500 silver) Size 2 - smaller than 18mm Weight 1 - less than 8.5g Other points 1 - Only writing with no other design (dots or simple, solid lines are okay) 1 - hammered coin 1 - Any AH dated coin That's a total of 14 points, I believe. Side-note, I'm really intrigued by the 15th century dated Jaunpur tanka series, and I hope to be able to collect those eventually. Probably not for the next few years though... Israeli antiquities laws are confusing.

  Sultanate of Delhi, Khilji Dynasty Qutb-ud-din Mubarak Shah Khilji (r.#8201;1316-1320 AD) 4 gani, dated 717 AH = 1318 AD Dia: 18 mm, Weight: 3.6 g https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21364.htmlIssuer 3 - Any Indian Sultanate Year 2 - same as above but ends in "38" OR 1300-1600, dated or undated Composition 3 - billon (less than 0.500 silver) Size 3 - 18-19mm Weight 1 - less than 8.5g Other points 1 - Only writing with no other design (dots or simple, solid lines are okay) 1 - hammered coin 1 - Any AH dated coin The total adds up to 15 points. Just need a confirmation if the border counts as a simple, solid line or not. If it doesn't, I'm down to 14 points for a tie :)

zorosenpai swoops in to take the lead! Quote: if the border counts as a simple, solid line or not I'm not sure why this would matter.
