<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 8229556, member: 85693&quot;]I recently got a lot of unidentified Indian coins I&#039;ve been working on, not always with much success.&nbsp; As [USER=82322]@Ed Snible[/USER] and [USER=57364]@THCoins[/USER] suggest, like the OP, one of mine seems to be a Delhi Sultanate Sikander.&nbsp; Not sure if it will help with the query, but here is what I found out about it: </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1446597[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>India, Delhi Sultanate </b></p><p><b>Æ / Billon Tanka</b></p><p><b>Sikandar Lodi</b></p><p><b>A.H. 903 or 913</b></p><p><b>(1498 / 1501 A.D.)?</b></p><p><b>Delhi / No mint? (off flan)</b></p><p><i>Al-mutawakkil</i>.../ <i>Fi-zaman</i>...Mint: [bi-hadrat Delhi?] and date٩٠/١٤ (903/913 ?) at bottom.</p><p>Goron D705 / D706 (no mint)</p><p>(9.35 grams / 18 mm)</p><p>eBay Feb. 2022&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Lot @ $2.39</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I am so unsure of the date is that it is mostly off the flan, which is typical for a lot of the Indian coins I try to figure out <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; My knowledge of how to figure out the mint is nil, thus my &quot;no mint&quot; guess.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The date, what there is of it, is shown in red: </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1446598[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the whole lot - I&#039;ve got three of them still on my &quot;Baffling&quot; list (the top three are silver rupees - after a great deal of amateur sleuthing, the middle one is from Afghanistan, I think) - note some of these are upside-down because I do not know what I am doing:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1446599[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>If anybody out there can help me with the middle one on the second row and the left two on the third row, I will be eternally grateful. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie60" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
