[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 5491074, member: 4910"]Nice coins! I became interested in Islamic coins around the beginning of 2020 and grew more interested as the year went by. Later I also became interested in the British East India Company and read Brian Gardner's [I]The East India Company: A History[/I] (1972). I have a few coins from the Company minted in the names of various Mughal rulers. The "KM" numbers refer to the Standard Catalog of World Coins by Chester Krause.
