Shahshuravi New Member Canada 13 Posts	Posted 08/07/2025 5:54 pm Hello Fellow Indian coin collectors, I have recently acquired two thick copper coins, one of which is 20.2 g (ca. 22 mm) with a clearly visible date (987 AH), which makes it a dam of Akbar the Great. The mint mark is not familiar to me - can anyone help with attribution, please? The other coin is too light for a dam (17.1 g, 19 mm) and too heavy for any smaller denomination. Also, it does not look like a typical Mughal dam. I will appreciate any help with either or both. Thanks a lot in advance! Report this Post to the Staff
