The first looks like a Rupee from the Mughal empire:
Rupee - Akbar (Urdu Zafar Qarin mint) (1585-1606)
The second is not exactly but close to this other Rupee:
Rupee - Aurangzeb (Katak mint) (1661-1707)
The third with the date 1123 is not exactly bu close to this other Rupee:
1 Rupee - Jahandar Shah (Ahmedabad mint) 1124 (1712)
The last one should be also a Rupee from the Mughal empire

Information without any guaranty :D

​First, Third and Sixth coins has the name of Shah Alam of Mughal emperor but the characters are not readable for me. It can belong to any princely state and also maybe British East India or even French India (citing Mughal Emperor: Shah Alam).

Thank you Haseeb

I googled Islamic coins with swastikas on them and my results came up with the Suri dynasty, I think this may be from the reign of Sher Shah Suri or Islam Shah Suri?

Citeer: "deuterium_1"​Thank you Haseeb

​I googled Islamic coins with swastikas on them and my results came up with the Suri dynasty, I think this may be from the reign of Sher Shah Suri or Islam Shah Suri?



​Yes this belongs to Sher Shah Suri. One paisa. Mint: Hissar. Date: AH 950-952. Reference# D857. At the bottom it is written: Zarb Hissar (Struct at Hissar) in stylish way that I though it was written Mahmud of Gujarat but it not match the remaining texts. Thanks for your hint, together we found the details. :)
Honestly, this is so great as some of these coins have been in my possession for more than 10 years. I am getting around to cataloguing my coins.

Sher Shah Suri is of particular interest as he came from Bihar which is also where my maternal family originate from. He was born Farid Khan and apparently killed a tiger for which he earned the title "Sher Khan" (perhaps inspiration for Rudyard Kipling?), he then overthrew Humayun after defeating him at Chausa in Buxar, Bihar and hence started Humayun's famous exile to Iran.

Do you know about the other coins?:

This one also looks like a 16th Century coin too:

Here is a Western Satrap coin but I am unsure which ruler and mint it is:





I would greatly appreciate any help identifying this coin
The Western Satrap coin is of Simhasena. There are no mint details on these coins and the date is off the flan. The date is behind the king's head.
Nice coin and coins of this ruler are scarce. For more details see the link http://coinindia.com/galleries-simhasena.html

I have two new ancient Indian coins, does anyone know more about their rulers, mints and regnal years?:



The first coin is of Baktria - Hermaios
see Bop_12B at this link http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/baktria/kings/hermaios/

The second coin is of Nezak Huns - Shahi Tegin
Its similar to the one at this link

​Thank you :D

The first coin is a Hermaios imitation? as it does look slightly crude so it is probably a posthumous issue?.

Was Shahi Tegin a Turk Shahi king?. Since he apparently reigned in the same area as the later Hindu Shahi kings.

​Sorry, I wont be able to answer your questions as Baktrian and Hunnic coins are not in my main area of interest in coin collection. So I am not aware of the detailed history around these coin series.
Maybe some expert in these coin series would be able to answer your queries

Ok no problem

Thanks for your help Parimal :P

I have got a new coin, this is a Mughal Shahrukhi from the reign of Babur:



This is the information I have:
Zahir al-din Babur (903, 905-906AH)

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could tell more about the mint of this coin. A date of 903AH would likely mean that it was minted in Samarkand, I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on this however.
Can anyone tell me more about this coin?:

Here it is: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4849.html

Is the mint mark known?
This is KM# 446.2. According to my catalog, you should check the diameter.
Culcatta - 26.2 mm
Bombay - 25.2 mm
Madras - 25.5 mm
One Quarter Anna has many varieties as seen at the below website.
http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/East_India_Company.htm

Loops of Ribbon: Large, Small and Smallest.
Y of COMPANY: The Y of COMPANY may point above a berry in the wreath, at a berry in the wreath, or below a berry.
Ribbon Ends: The ends of the ribbon below the bow may be forked or pointed.
Wreath tip leaves: The number of leaves in the wreath tip may be 3 or 4.
Alignment: The 1835 dated coins exists in both medal and coin rotations.
Full stop after COMPANY: Mainly Bombay mint only.
Number of Berries: 17, 18, 23, 24, 27 or 30.

So it was minted in Bombay?
I do not see DOT after COMPANY and also I do not see 30 berries to considered your coin as Bombay mint. Based on my analysis it should be Madras (Chennai) mint. Kindly read the website mentioned earlier to understand the difference.
