Silver rupee identification

5 сообщений • просмотрено 84 раз

Hi there, I have here a silver rupee, 18th century.  Obverse indicates emperor Alamgir. Diameter is 18mm and that seems odd: edges cut off maybe or is this a common size? Reverse: I can’t identify . Is it chinapathan? Patan or patna mint? how about rarety of this coin?
 

curious for your insights, best regard Dirk /holland 

It's a Rupee or ½ depending on weight, Bengal Presidency- Murshidabad, regnal year 5,  reverse like KM# 84.1,  part of zarb Murshidabad visible at the bottom
