I do like those square Malwa coins, thanks for sharing. I'll bet you bought that one from Alex Fishman?

 

Is he from Canada?

 

Very nice square coin...how large is it ?

 

Could be....:high5:

 

I've purchased Islamic/indian Rupes from a fellow in Canada and that name sure rings a bell.

 

I like those Sikh rupees with the leaf motifs. And of course the big old rupee from Islam Shah...

 

Along with yours it would make quite a pair.

Since you've shown a tanka from Malwa, thought I'd show a rupee from Gwalior. Reverse shows a bow and arrow symbol to left, and the symbol to right is Nagari (I think) for 'Ma', which signifies the ruler Madho Mao (1886-1925 AD).

 

Ancient Coins Canada is a great dealer in all sorts of coins...I do believe bonedigger pointed me in his direction and since I have purchased quite a few lots.
