Thanks, @willieboyd2!

 

I just spent some time recording all the coins I have posted in this thread, so as to not repeat myself (again). 82 coins so far. Guess I will post another one now then. Mughal Shah Jahan AR Rupee, AH1051/Ry.14, Surat

 

I am going to avoid posting coins prior to 1500 since those coins belong in the Ancient Coins section.
