Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 09/04/2020 7:32 pm Welcome to Numista! Good partial match, Gincoin43. I didn't find a match in a quick look through Zeno and a Krause catalog. However, I can say that this likely Awadh coin shows a regnal year of 6, which would correspond for Shah Alam II to 1178-1179 AH or about 1765 AD. So you have a pretty good attribution so far, just missing the mint and KM number. Maybe another one of our members can add those items. The first photo should be rotated 180 degrees.

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 09/04/2020 8:02 pm ~~Pretty sure~~ the trident after "Badshah", maybe the mint mark for Azimabad mint. Could be under Bengal-India or Mughal Empire. What is the weight and diameter of this coin? Edited by Gincoin43 09/04/2020 8:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Lionpassant New Member United Kingdom 18 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 03:31 am Hello both thanks for your help so far , it is puzzling to me the coin is 11.32 grams and diameter is 20mm - quite a thick coin at 4mm appreciate your help Report this Post to the Staff
Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 1:07 pm Pretty certain it was issued for Awadh, The reverse is pretty clear. It was certainly issued under Shah Alam II. The trident and star are apparently both privy/mint marks, but I cannont find a location listed for Awadhs tiredents. Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 09/06/2020 12:07 pm Yes, excellent ID, angyg. Because this is i.n.o. Alamgir II, who acceded to the throne in AH 1167 = AD 1754, the date for your coin will be approx. AD 1760. Edited by Seeker55 09/06/2020 12:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
