They are very common coins but strike and centering often conspire to make them ugly compared to this one (although I would prefer it displayed with the reverse right side up). The Balban is smaller flan than mine but looks to be much better silver. Is it silver washed or really good silver for these?</p><p> </p><p>That leaves the Mauryan: These bother me in most cases but yours is really cryptic.
