<p>[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3676671, member: 85693"]The dumpy, thick one on the bottom right is a dump from India, probably, probably Mughal. If it weighs around 20 grams you can do a Google image search "Mughal dam" and see how hard it is to figure these out, if you can't read the writing. Many seem to be from around the time of Akbar the Great (16th-17th C. AD), but these were made for centuries. You might post that one on the World Coins forum for more useful information than I can provide. There are some very serious Indian collectors on other forums that could help too. </p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, I have a few of them and I really enjoy them. Massive, yet small, complex but beautiful. Sorry to say they don't seem to be worth much - I've actually found some in my local dealer's junk box. A "Mughal dam" search on eBay will pull up scads of them (mostly from sellers in India). But maybe yours is a rare type? I just don't know. Nice batch of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
