Recently purchased this coin ring. Has anyone got any ideas on it's origin, I was let to believe that it could be Afghan Your help would be greatly appreciated.
The coin is definitely Afghan, poor thing seems to be flattened out with a hammer to fit the ring. I see amir sher ali written on the top, so it must be barakzai dynasty.
I see the numeral 8 and what looks like a 0. Sher Ali ruled from 1280AH which was 1863. so 1863 should be the date of the coin. Though I cannot see the 1 and the 2.
