drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1982 Posts	Posted 11/22/2023 07:57 am A coin that remained unattributed for quite a few years finally gets a label. This coin is of Firoz shah Bahmani (CE.1397-1422). This type of coins with legend running "firoz shah" on one side and "al sultan" on the other puzzled numismatists for quite some time. It was difficult to specify which Firoz shah it belonged to, of Delhi, or of Madurai or Bahmani. With provenance, it could only be Firoz shah Bahmani who is tentatively credited authority of this coin. Further, the legend shares likeness with small silver coins of this ruler. Round, square and rectangular coins with this legend have been reported. They were found in two different streams of weight. One was based on a unit of 4.5gms(higher weight) and the other of 3.3gms (lower weight). They don't record any mint nor any date. They are called Paisa and Goron and Goenka illustrates a few varieties as BH 070A - J. This particular coin with 2.3gms is thus a half paisa of the higher weight standard.

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1982 Posts	Posted 02/12/2025 03:05 am A curious coin from Bijapur Please take a look at this coin https://www.coincommunity.com/forum....Sul-007.jpg BJ 015A of G&G. The coin now presented belongs to the same class, but the obverse legend (gulam ali mirtazi where ali is on the top line) is retrograde. Entire legend is within dotted scalloped circle. an overlay of the corrected obverse image is given below. Edited by drnsreedhar 02/12/2025 03:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
