Size: 33mm wide, weight - 11.5g.
Notes: Islamic legend within a square, "1477" in arabic numbers in the top obverse margin (the meaning is unknown), followed by a star of David with Hindu inscriptions. Dated to 957 AH = 1550 AD. Very large/huge, 33mm in diameter, 11.5 grams. Islam was the religion of Suri Sultan of Delhi, but his power extended to Bengal along with the protection of Hindu and Jewish trade caravans in the region. Tri-Inscription coins in his name were issued throughout his reign and this one comes from the famed Taj Mahal where it was used as an offering. Scarce, difficult to find.

Neat! Indian States are cool - if you can figure out how to ID them.

You may want to get that link fixed, so's it's permanent...

Thanks for the tip on the link. As far as IDing it I just went by what the seller (Alex Fishman) said.

Take Care
