Coin #1
Coin #2
Hello, I got these 2 coins last year in an auction. I think they may be Hindi or Nepalese? I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Welcome for your first message
Aneighbor of my friend Daryl , what a surprise !
Size and weight would help to identify, if you can precisely measure them
The first coin gets some similarity with a stater of the Chola empire
After comparing the similarities, I think I can quite confidently say that coin #1 is indeed a stater. Thank you very much for the warm welcome to the forum and helping me identify this coin!
The second is far less usual.
It's a jital of Iltutmish, in the turn of the Ghurid sultanate, the Mamluk slave dynasty and the sultanate of Dehli. On obverse, may be a stylized bull like on this jital from the Mamluk Slave dynasty
On reverse, Al-sultan al-azzam/Iltutmish/al-Sultan in arabic like on this following coin from the sultanate of Dehli
For a precise reference, there are better skilled collectors here.
