<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bgarg, post: 346533, member: 1876&quot;]While browsing the books on Indian coins, I noticed a book &quot;The coinage of Cooch Behar&quot; by Nicholas Rhodes and S.K.Bose. I wasn’t aware that I had this book with me and now need to do some reading.</p><p><br /></p><p>The authors didn&#039;t mention much about the Suris in this book, but here is a footnote I found on page 5 regarding coin of &quot;Islam Shah&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;It is interesting to note that certain rupees of Islam Shah, with no mint name, but clearly struck in Bengal, perhaps at Tanda, have a &#039;pseudo date&#039;, 1477, in Arabic numerals above the reverse. These pieces are dated 952-60 AH (1545-1552 AD), whereas 1477 saka = 1555 AD, or three years after the end of Islam Shah&#039;s reign. These pieces may either be posthumous issues with pseudo AH date, struck by Nara Narayan, with his accession year indicate, or it is possible that &#039;1477&#039; has some meaning other then AH date.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p>Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
