<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rangnath, post: 265679, member: 9429&quot;]The side in which there is a match depicts the mint of the coin:&nbsp; Gwalior Fort.&nbsp; What a sweet place that is too.&nbsp; Definitely worth visiting and a lot less touristed than say Jaipur.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My hope is that our resident experts in Coin Talk might bring some light into this discussion.&nbsp; How many rulers in Gwalior&#039;s history survived for longer than ten years?&nbsp; I suspect that one of them minted this coin.&nbsp; Why keep one side the same and change the other?&nbsp; Perhaps the mint liked their design so much that they kept it the same from ruler to ruler. I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; </p><p>I do know after looking at 3,000 pictures of hammered coins that there is an incredible variety of them, even within sub types of Feudal States. And Gwalior was more prolific than most.</p><p>richie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
