about the coin Hi Got some info on this coin from Dr Dilip Rajgor, Mumbai. "The copper coin is a Dokda of Bhavnagar State in Gujarat in the name of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan III." Thomas
Very nice coin from this small state which is now part of Saurastra. On your coin, the name and title of Shah Jahan is very clear and it's tough to get a nice coin from this very crude series. Also on reverse, the nagri legend "Bahadur" is very clear. These coins were issue between 1820-1835. Regards, Ballabh Garg
