[QUOTE="bgarg, post: 1415049, member: 1876"]They are silver rupee coins from India, issued during Mughal period. The first coin is issued in name of Mohammad Shah, 12th mughal emperor from india. The obverse is missing the date. However, the reverse has his regnal year 2 on last line. This indicates that this coin was issued in AD 1720. Also, the mint name reads "Dar-ul-khilafat Shahjahanbad", which was the official name of capital of India, Delhi, in those days. The second coin is issued in name of Jahangir. The reverse has hijri date AH 1026 (which translates to AD 1617). On obverse, it has his regnal year 12 (His reign started in 1605, so regnal 12 also translates to AD 1617). The mint name is off flan, so it's not possbile to identify from which mint this coin was produced. Nice little pieces of history from that region. Regards, Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]
