Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 01/19/2020 4:48 pm I think this is a Mughal Rupee, not sure though. I don't see a date anywhere. It's 11.3 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 01/23/2020 07:33 am Mint name in circle looks like Masshad (NE Iran). Likely Afsharids of Iran or Durranis of Afghanistan. Edited by Kushanshah 01/23/2020 07:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/23/2020 4:08 pm The fabric of this coin suggests that it could be 19th century not Mughal. Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 01/23/2020 5:02 pm I agree with the previous comments. I don't think this is Mughal or even Indian. Just as a possible lead to get in the ballpark, there are some similarities (on one side, certainly not a match on either side) to these two coins from the Mashad mint of Qajar (Iranian dynasty), Fath Ali Shah AH 1212-1250 https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=124256 https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=68736 Report this Post to the Staff
