Please help to correctly identify this Afghanistan coin [решено]

5 сообщений


The seller had attributed this coin as KM#563, Afghanistan - Taimur Shah - 1 Rupee - Kashmir mint
Weight and diameter is,
weight : 11gm
diameter : 22.68 mm
But the obverse does not match with the image in "Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins 1701-1800 5th Edition" that I have.
Is the seller's attribution correct?  Can someone please help me to correctly identify this coin?

 Thanks in advance.

Mint of your coin is Kashmir for sure. I am not very sure if Krause has the coin's picture wrong or it is a variation to KM#563.

Yes indeed, looks like Kashmir.
The picture in Krause is not from a Kasmir coin, but rather Herat (I think)
In the right top corner of the right picture I see the number 9 fro regnal year.
That means the date is 1781 or 1782 AD
Note that Krause says that there is a different arrangement of the rev legend.
