[QUOTE="spock1k, post: 442512, member: 7043"]here are my 2 cents for the coinabove ( i own it) its a late islamic period coin as described by the 2 different scripts on the coin. Mohurs are mainly of 4 types Islamic and Moghul Period ( Mughal mohurs are supposed to be the king of the coins of their time) Pre islamic /ancient again some very beautful coins Princely state mohurs - like the one above ( whether struck for the emperor or not) British Mohurs - including the one's struck by the East India company. IMO the 2 mohur coin is the holy grail of the British Empire. If you are just starting out i would start with the British period and move backwards. The prices for the british period are hitting hte roof and will only go higher as peole become aware. LMK if there are any other questions[/QUOTE]
