Hello, I am seeking the help of wise heads here again!
I have acquired this Sur Empire coin, sold as Islam Shah Suri but the year is AH 962.
From what I have read I believe he died around the 22nd November 1554 which is near to the beginning of A.H. 962 (Muhurram), but his reign ended in A.H. 960.
Hopefully someone here can decipher the text.

The coin is a slug....21mm and 20.6 grams

Many thanks in advance
Grant

There's a ton of options for 962 apparently! I had trouble figuring out what (if anything) matches on Zeno, but this Numista entry for Muhammad Adil Shah looks like a probable match.

Here's my Suri paisa from this era, this one dated 961 AH...

I believe mine is also Muhammad Adil Shah, but I'm not very confident. Certainly seems to match yours, though.

Yes, I tend to agree with you, and the numista link is pretty close. Thanks j1m !
