<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 3179499, member: 81887&quot;]Mughal Zodiac pictorial types were issued by Jahangir between 1027 and 1034 AH (1617-1624 AD), and exist in both silver rupees and gold mohurs.&nbsp; The originals are all quite scarce and highly sought-after and expensive.&nbsp; There have also been many later imitations, worth much less. I am not a specialist in this series, so I can&#039;t say whether you have originals or copies.&nbsp; The reverse of the first coin (Aries with head facing back) reads &quot;Yafat dar Agrah rui zar ziyur/ az Jahangir Shah Shah Akbar&quot; (The face of gold received ornaments at Agra, from Jahangir Shah [son of] Shah Akbar) and has a date of 1028 AH (1618 AD).&nbsp; The reference to gold makes me think this is actually a later, silver copy of a gold original coin.&nbsp; Hopefully an expert will come along soon with more facts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
