    Hello! Can anybody help me to identify these coins, please? Their weight is inscribed at the bottom of each picture. I want to know their time and region of issue, ruler, mint name and denomination. Thanks ahead. 1.JPG 2.JPG 3.JPG 4.JPG 5.JPG 6.JPG

    Disclaimer: I'm more into the earlier Indian coinage, so not a real expert on these.
    However, Your first one seems to read "Muhammad Shah" and the second "Ahmad Shah". My best guess is that these are a half-Gani and bit underweight Gani of the Bahmani Sultans (roughly 1400-1500AD).
    For the fourth: AR 11 grams point to a Tanka or Rupee as denomination.
    Five and six may not be indian at all. Especially the last one looks more like an Ottoman akce.
