Mughal Indian Rupee, 1550
Here is Rupee #2 as they say, for those who care for a Rupee a day... Size: 33mm wide, weight - 11.5g.
Notes: Islamic legend within a square, "1477" in arabic numbers in the top obverse margin (the meaning is unknown), followed by a star of David with Hindu inscriptions. Dated to 957 AH = 1550 AD. Again, very large (33mm) in diameter, and 11.5 grams. Islam was the religion of Suri Sultan of Delhi, but his power extended to Bengal along with the protection of Hindu and Jewish trade caravans in the region. There was once peace in the region I guess...
