I need help identifying this India coin #4 [решено]

5 сообщений • просмотрено 90 раз

This coin is silver, weighs 11.57 grams and is irregularly round 21-22 mm in size. My best guess it is one of the two coins below in the last photo which appear to me to have identical markings and relatively equal sizes. One of the coins appears to be off-flan. Which one is it or is it something else altogether?

Your coin looks like a perfect match to this example on Zeno. It  also happens to have the same Numista reference # as well. I don't know enough about these types to explain why the photo on the Numista coin page doesn't exactly match the photo on Zeno. A little research or a Princely State expert may be able to explain the conflict.

 EDIT - Note “varieties exist”. Also check the thickness of your coin.

Good luck with it.

Here is a post by Amit Mehta on post Mughal Ahmadabad coins. He is one of the experts on Ahmadabad coins and hope this post helps

harryg, nice to hear from you again.  I think you hit the nail on the head--the thickness of my coin is 3.6mm so it clearly must be the N#61642.  I clearly overlooked that parameter and appears that was the key to solving my dilemma.  Thank you so much.

 

parimal, thank you as well for all your tips and providing useful links on all these Indian coins that gave me a challenge.
