David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1616 Posts	Posted 01/08/2023 5:17 pm Hi all, I have an Islamic coin that I can't locate in Zeno or Numista. Composition is most likely copper but could low grade billon. Diam - 19-20mm Weight 9-10g (inaccurate Kitchen scales) Thickness 4.3mm Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 6:19 pm I can confirm andyg's skillful attribution. In G&G it matches D1057, Sultans of Dehli, Islam Shah, paisa, no mint, reported dates AH 959 and 960, described in GG as NW type C variety (apparently NW refers to another reference book but I'm not sure what that is).
