WindyWaters New Member Australia 4 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 8:40 pm I bought this token many years ago in Jaipur and was told it was issued by Shah Jahan as a bonus or gratuity for his workers. Could there be any truth to this or is it a temple token? The closest I have found is an Ilahi issued Akbar token dated 1556 which makes me suspicious. Any help with dates or detail would be appreciated. 21mm x 21mm x 2mm, sorry no weight Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/10/2020 07:53 am Normally temple tokens are only a fraction of the value of the square rupees (mostly of Akbar), that inspired their manufacture. There have been some studies on temple tokens, (Brotmar), but most non Indian collectors like myself have little to no understanding of them. A legitimate form of exonumia.
