<p>[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3932708, member: 85693"]That is a beautiful coin. I have a tough time attributing these - I usually do a Google image search for "Mughal rupee" and hope I get lucky. I did a quickie search and found one that doesn't match yours, but it seemed kinda close (MA shops). Jahan issued a lot of coins (he had to pay for the Taj Mahal) so his come up a lot:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ma-shops.com/almanumis/item.php?id=2329" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ma-shops.com/almanumis/item.php?id=2329" rel="nofollow">https://www.ma-shops.com/almanumis/item.php?id=2329</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I would've never figured out the Sept.
