Help to identify and value Indian copper coins 10th C AD?

Hi all,

Can you help, I've no idea about these coins, got them at auction and were described from India, 10th C AD.  Regards,  Juan.

Maybe dida rani coins from india

Yes, it looks like the ones I have. It has a rarety index of 92. Do you know what the price may be? I got them at auction from a respectable coin and antiquity dealer in the UK. Regards, Juan.

Don't believe the rarity scale, that just means that not many Numista members have one of those coins.

This coin for example has a numista rarity rating of 75, but every single New Zealand collector has a copy of it, but since there's only 4 or 5 New Zealanders on this site, it gets an artificially high rarity rating.

Thanks for the input, just had a a look in Ebay for same coins, They are not many people selling it in Ebay and I am not sure if they are common elsewhere. In ebay, they are going for 15-20 GBP. I assume they may be value a bit more outside Ebay.

That sounds like a pretty good price

Hi,

  These are coins of Hindu rulers of Kashmir. The coins are virtually the same reverse and obverse design for all of these rulers and only the Nagari lettering of the rulers will vary. Coins of some rulers are fairly common and some of them are rare.

If you can put the coin pictures individually we can try to name the rulers. We have few of them listed in numista, most are not.

Hello,

Thank you all for your assistance, it is really appreciated. As I have quite a few of them I have photograph them in groups and these will be posted one per message. I will start with group 1 and end with group 6.

GROUP: 1

GROUP: 2

GROUP: 3

GROUP: 4

GROUP: 5

GROUP:6

I will take a stab at identifying the rulers on these coins

WOW!!!!!!!!!  Thank you so much. So are they common or rare? Any ideas on their prices outside Ebay?  I am learning about coins and I feel like there is soooo much to learn for just one type... more still to remember all that information!!!!

In relative terms,

Didda Rani -- Fairly Common
Harsha -- Fairly Common
Kalasa -- Relatively Scarce
Sangrama Deva -- Scarce
Rest -- Relatively Rare

Thank you so much!!  One last question, where in the photographs you started the identification?  i.e.  Left to right, top to bottom?  Thanks.

Should be Left to Right. You got very nice collection of this series now. Congrats!!

Hope to see the missing ones in Numista catalog soon  

@sujit_kumar
Thanks for nicely summing up the rarity of the coins

@xmortal
I started the identification from Left to Right.
The coins of "Ananta" and "Didda Ksema Gupta" are not in catalog yet. It would be nice if you add them  

Yes, I happy now that I have some rare coins. Got the whole lot for under 200 GBP.  Of course, how do I do to put them in the catalog?  Do I need to forward photographs, please advise. I am very new to coins and to this forum.  

BTW, I also bought some Indian silver coins, someone told me they are 19th century... princely something something. I would like them to be identified in more detail. Should start a new thread with photos??  Regards.  Juan

You can send us a clear picture of both sides of the coin, weight and diameter and we will take care of it.

Yes please start a new thread for the other coins if you do not see the coin listed in Numista.

Hello all,

See info on the coins that we are not in the catalogue. I also added photos and info of the coin that could not be identify, perhaps someone can help? Finally, I will create another thread with the other Indian silver coins I have, again, I will really appreciate if you can help me.  Regards, Juan.
