Scottishmoney Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Seller is right, they look authentic, and from India. These could date anywhere from about 1000 AD on up to 1900 or so, and they are a PAIN to ID, I have done it before with the old Krause Catalog of Indian coins.

Graikos Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 The work "The World of Islam, Oriental Coins and their Values" by Michael Mitchiner would be helpful id'ing some of these coins. There is a section about Moslem India. Unfortunately I don't have mine close to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
