echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/04/2018 9:53 pm I've just started to expand into Indian and Islamic coinage, they seem to have a simple beauty about them. But learning how to read the legends is very difficult if not impossible for me. Kushanshah has been very helpful in that department and hopefully will be able to help with the legend on your coin. Very nice addition. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 08/04/2018 11:29 pm The legend begins with the second photo al-sultan al-'azam ghiyath al-dunya wa al-din ("the sultan the great, succorer of the world and of the faith") with shah Tughluq within two circles at the center of the reverse. There is a marginal legend on the reverse die but rarely shows on the finished coins. Neither Tye nor Goron & Goenka offer a reading. Tye 436; G&G D311. The denomination is listed as 6 gani. "Jital" is a generic term. Edited by Kushanshah 08/04/2018 11:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
