oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5238 Posts	Posted 08/05/2025 8:27 pm Thanks, @andyg. There are not many square coins from India that look like that, and Malwa seemed a good guess but no match to any of the pictures was evident. A copy would not likely be illustrated anywhere, I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff
andyg Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1313 Posts	Posted 08/06/2025 4:58 pm Post sultanate is the best I can offer. Silver coinage in India was controlled, but copper less so - it seems that copper was traded by weight - it didn't really matter what was on it. However, having said that most issues can be traced, usually by knowing which part of India they are found, to an issuer. A google of "Malwa coin copy" didn't yield much I have to say :( Report this Post to the Staff
