Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2887 Posts	Posted 12/09/2023 05:55 am It was in a group of Princely states coins - but the more Iook at it the more I think it's one of those anonymous Paisa's from either Kabul or Qandahar during the reign of Dost Muhammad. It's clearly overstruck which was common for that area and time - and the partial date fits as well.

andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1323 Posts	Posted 12/10/2023 4:24 pm I agree with Afghan rather than Indian. Didn't find anything similar in Valentine. Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2887 Posts	Posted 12/16/2023 1:58 pm Thanks - That's a good observation. There are some examples on Zeno that are suggestive but nothing that is really close. I think the fact it's over stamped and that was so common a practice in the Afghan area makes me lean in that direction. It's clearly had an interesting life.

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2887 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 3:02 pm Just to update that this apparently a paisa from Bahawalpur. The round paisa is less common than the square falus that is normally found. It's certainly the first one I have seen.
