Unidentified old Indian coins

7 posts • viewed 77 times

Hello everybody!

I was hoping some of you can help me identify any of the following coins from India. They are quite worn and not much is visible, save for a few Arabic letters mostly, but I have seen people idenfity coins in worse shape than these, so I will give these a try! 😄

Any help is much appreciated!

 

1

Weight: 9,3-9,5g, diameter: 1,7-1,8cm

These three appear to be the same, or at least the same state/ruler.

N#45179 SOLVED!

 

2

Weight: 9,89g, diameter: 1,6cm

N#45179 SOLVED!

 

3

Weight: 8,81g, diameter: 2,3cm

Almost nothing is visible here, but I'll give that a shot.

 

4

Weight: 7,69g, diameter: 1,6cm

At the bottom 895 or 855 in Arabic, but had no luck with that date alone so far.

 

5

Weight: 4,42g, diameter: 1,4cm

N#71892 SOLVED!

 

6

Weight: 4,25g, diameter: 1,5cm

A 37 number is all I can take out of that one, but didn't manage to identify it through that date fragment alone.

N#71484 SOLVED!

 

7

Weight: 4,57g, diameter: 1,2cm

2nd photo rotated to the right as suggested.

Common dudandi shiv rais, Gujarat sultanate, Delhi sultanate, ahmadnagar sultanate

Great, thanks, you have helped me find most of them so quickly, if I'm correct! 

N#45179 for the three coins on the first photo and the one on the 2 (that's the same coin too, right?).

N#71892 for 5.

N#71484 for 6.

Only 3 remains of the original post to be found (3, 4, 7), I haven't found any of them under the Ahmadnagar sultanate, you ment one of these three to be from there? Number 4 resembles Ahmadnagar coinage, but I can't find an exact ruler for it.

btw the thread for the shivrai you took is actually a KM falacy to be deleted @Jarcek , check the maratha empire for this type.

3 might be a poor sri vira kasu

Arnav

Right, changed the Satara coin to Maratha.

Sri vira kasus are around 2g, no? My coin is around 9g rather, that's qute the difference I think.
