barpita New Member Saudi Arabia 5 Posts	Posted 01/10/2018 05:04 am Can somebody please help me identify the source and details of the attached Murshidabad, Bengal, India gold coin? This is what I could gather so far: Reverse: 'Zarb Murshidabad Sanat 19 Julus Maimanet Manus' (Stuck at Murshidabad in the 19th year of his tranquil prosperous reign). Obverse (can read only in parts): 'Sayaye Fazl Shah Alam Badshah Elah Hami Din' - cannot exactly spot 'Muhammad' - I guess should be there (Defender of the religion of Muhammad, Shah Alam, Emperor, shadow of the divine favour), then 'Chiraag' on bottom right - unable to understand the complete bottom line. Thank you. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

barpita New Member Saudi Arabia 5 Posts	Posted 01/11/2018 08:13 am Thank you for the details. Can anyone also let me know what exactly is written on the obverse side (complete text does not match that of other coins displayed in the above link)? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
