Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 06/26/2021 5:49 pm The top left is a Humayun bahloli, Agra mint, similar to https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=169587 I can't make out the date but with the coin in hand you may be able to. The bottom coin matches the top left on one side (in the second group of photos) so I suspect it is also a Humayun bahloli. It shows a 939 with an 8 below. I suspect that the third (top right) coin is a falus of the Malwa Sultanate. For best results in attributing a group of coins please number each coin and provide a specific weight for each coin rather than a weight range for a group. Also, on Indian coins horizontal lines generally curve upward at the edges, so in the top photo the top left and bottom coins are upside down.
