Akbar the Great Silver Square Rupee [opgelost]

7 berichten • 171 keer bekeken
Greetings,

I was thinking about buying this coin but have no expertise in Indian or Islamic coins. The seller claims it is a silver square rupee from The Mughal Empire under Akbar the Great. Any helpful opinions would be appreciated and if it is even real.

Hello,

I also do not have much knowledge of islamic coins but from my expertise in general issues of coinage it looks original.

It would be one of these if it is authentic.

Diameter and weight would be needed to further identify and authenticate.

I appreciate you're help. Yes, I messaged the seller about measurements and waiting to hear back. Sorry I should mention I have no measurements at this time. I have seen several different mints for this coin under this ruler in square form but they're different patterns.
It is square rupee coin of Mughal ruler Akbar. From the images it looks authentic.
The mint name is partially visible at the bottom in the first image. To me it looks to be of Ahmadabad mint.
