Thank you, I am also bidding on a Mughal Square Gold Mohur of Akbar, so maybe by the end of the week I will have another coin for this thread.

 

The Shah Jahan Mohur mint name is on the right side of the right picture.
قبول
It spells "QBUL".

 

If anybody here is interested in acquiring one, there are two new listings for Shah Jahan mohurs on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1561259689...35PWNT&hash=item2459d53a5a:g:gKMAAOSwryxl-xhm

 

They are poor quality but good price.

 

This one is of much better quality, but also much more expensive: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/so...d_mohur_akola_hoard_ms64/1745679/Default.aspx

 

And if somebody wants to buy the mohur of Aurangzeb that I sent back to Baldwin's, you can buy it here: https://www.baldwin.co.uk/product/india-mughal-empire-aurangzeb-1658-1707-ad-gold-mohur-3/

 

Since the bidding on the Mughal Gold Square Mohur of Akbar went from my bid of 1300 EUR to an American's bid of 3800 EUR in about 10 seconds, I ended up not buying it.

 

Big demand for Abkar gold coins. Square ones even more/ like the Dukaten in Klippe form.

 

Even though I was disappointed at first that I didn't win it, when I looked them up later, I saw that the Lahore mint one has a better design and is bigger, so now I am happy that I didn't win the one at the Elsen auction.

 

Hello,
I got this one in a bundle, can you ID?
What is it worth?
Thank you.

 

I guess you didn't read my answer in the other thread, namely that while I am not 100% sure (the condition of the coin leaves a lot to be desired), my guess is that is a Mughal silver Rupee, probably of Aurangzeb.

The one in the above link is worth around 190 USD, while I have no idea how much you could get for yours in that condition.

 

Thank you. I'll check it out on
Btw this probably a half rupee.
It's 20 mm, 6 gr

 

You are welcome.

 

I believe that Alfonso Hernandez' coin is Aurangzeb Mint Khamabayat (Khambhat or Camaby) date AH 1080.

 

Thank you. I will check it out.
