David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 01:09 am Hi all, Have come to standstill with this one. Maybe Malwa? Weight = 10.47g Diameter = 19.5-19.8mm Material = Cu (but possibly low grade Billon) Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1319 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 2:10 pm This one was issued by Islam Shah, Sultans of Delhi dated AH959. D1055. Mintless type - possibly struck in Malwa. Edited by andyg 04/04/2022 2:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 3:49 pm Thanks Andy. That's a big help. Seems it's a 2 Takka. How sure are you that it's 959? I can make out (If I'm correct)the last digit 9, but the second numeral is partly off the flan. Other examples from the time seem to be using the round 5. Ta. Report this Post to the Staff
andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1319 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 4:13 pm sorry, it's AH960 There are only two dates according G&G - 959 and 960. G&G says this is a Paisa. Edited by andyg 04/04/2022 4:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 04/05/2022 01:51 am Ah, good old G&G. Having read your post and had so many other posts referencing G&G I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 2022 Reprint for 105USD. Still, cheaper than 280-500USD for the 2001 edition.
