OK - this is not an Indian coin - but from further North and West in Afghanistan what was also known as the Durrani Empire:

Afghanistan, Timur Shah Durrani (Reigned November 1772 – 20 May 1793), Regnal Year 19 AH 1205 (AD 1791) AR Rupee Kabul

 

Borders shifted or did not really exist back in those times. A silver rupee could be spent about anywhere as long as it was roughly 11.5 grams of silver. Nice coin.

@Croatian Coin Collector is settting quite the standard here - nice coins.

 

Mughal Empire, Muhammad Akbar, AE Dam, Kalpi mint, AH966. Another dam coin.

 

I am especially drawn to these earlier Mughal coins. Akbar the Great represented by this coin on my slowly growing list of "coins over 2 millenia".

"He struck coins in the seven climes under the shade of Divine Grace, Protector of the faith of Muhammad, Shah Alam, the Emperor."

He was involved in several conflicts with the British East India Company, including the Second Anglo-Maratha War (1803-1805) and the Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817-1818).

The Marathas, under his leadership, faced defeat at the hands of the British. Daulat Rao Shinde signed the Treaty of Surji-Anjangaon in 1803 after defeat in the Battle of Argaon. This treaty resulted in the loss of several territories to the British.

He died on March 21, 1827, and was succeeded by his adopted son, Jankoji Rao Scindia II.
