Need help identifying Indian coins under Islamic rule

9 berichten • 168 keer bekeken
I got these coins in a lot recently. I am unable to identify even one of these coins. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

I've mentioned the dimensions along with each coin(sometimes, a range). All dimensions are in millimeters (mm). (D - Diameter, T - Thickness, L - Length, B - Breadth, W - Weight (in grams))

I've taken pictures of either 1 or 2 coins in a single photo since I received them in separate packets with 1 or 2 coins. I guess, that could be because they are of the same dynasty or ruler or something?

These coins seem like they used Urdu. Would love to know more about them. Thank you! :)

I could probably attribute several of these coins but would need weights, to the nearest tenth of a gram, to do it. Perhaps you could use a friend's scale briefly or pay a jeweler a small amount to weigh them for you.

​Thank you for your suggestion :)
I did exactly that and got the weights. I have updated them as well. Thank you!

​I'm sorry if I broke any rules. Please let me know what i did so I can correct it.
Now the measures are OK, thanks. Normally only ONE coin per subject.

It is helpful that you have added the weights. I have tried looking up a few of these in theZeno database (http://search.zeno.ru), so far without finding matches. Will let you know if able to identify any.

I do have one suggestion. I suggest that you photograph the coins individually on a white background, correctly oriented (the curved bottoms of the letters at the bottom) and cropped, then post them one at a time on the World of Coins site

They have more Indian coin experts there, several of whom can read Islamic coins.
Numbers 11 and 12, both coins are the same. Falus of Sultans of Jaunpur, Shams al-Din Ibrahim Shah, Goron/Goenka J8, reported dates AH 813-844

Numbers 1 and 2 appear to be in the style of the Bahmani Sultans, very similar to each other (although differing significantly in weight). Very similar to a half gani of Ala al-din Ahmad II, GG BH87, AH 838-860, the heavier weight matches better, but I'm not 100% sure it's a match. Maybe the heavier one is a half gani and the lighter one is one third gani?

Hopefully another member will be able to either confirm or disconfirm this ID.

Will definitely try that out.
