Dear all, I collect ancient roman coins and the occasional 19th century european silver coin. I know nothing about oriental coins. In the course of my numismatic endeavors, I bought two coins without knowing what they were, other than that I liked them, and that they are oriental. I got one in Berlin, the other on London, each time from a box of unsorted, unidentified coins where all items cost the same. They were so cheap that I thought 'why not', besides, i like what they look like and feel in my hand. Could you help me identify them? As in who issued them, what year/period/ where they may have been minted? is there anything such as a catalogue reference (a la Sear/RIC) for them? One is bronze, not sure if the grey one is silver or not. Small grey one is 15 mm across, larger bronze one is 22 mm. Thank you, Alex PS: Would it be better if I post this in the 'World Coins' forum?
Look like medieval or early modern Indian coins. Definitely Islamic India. I would post it in the ancients section. You'll probably have better luck there than any other place on cointalk. We have a few ancient collectors that also collect these types, so they should be able to quickly identify them.
