<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1024024, member: 19463"]The first is a 2 gani (AKA dugani - about 3.5g of 8% silver billon) of 'Ala-ud-din Muhammad Shah 1296-1316 AD Sultan of Delhi cataloging Tye (<u>Jitals</u>) 419. These are year dated to between 696 and 715 AH in Hindu characters but your coin is off center the wrong way for this to be clear. There is a trace of the last digit showing outside the circle at about 10 o'clock which makes me really suspect it is a 7 but I have no idea how to tell if it was 697 or 707 AH. The issue is always on a small, thick flan losing part of the legend according to the pictures I've seen. I do not own one but they are listed as very common. Now that you have made me look them up, I'll be seeking one with full date. I have no idea what the rest of the legends say but I hope you can research all you want to know from the start given.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
