Auction: 13019 - North East Indian Coins from the Nicholas Rhodes Collection
Lot: 468

Sultans of Bengal, 'Ala al-Din Husain, commemorative Tankas (2), fourth "victory" type, Muhammadabad, AH 925, 921, legends as previous lot (G&G B. B746), first slightly crimped and with a flan defect on the reverse, good very fine, second, extremely fine (2)

Muhammadabad is the only mint operating during the Husaini dynasty that consistently has the actual date of striking on the coins. Other mints have fixed dates or a mixture of actual dates and garbled dates. On the first of these two coins where the date has been read as AH 925 (a date not recorded in G&G for this ruler), the last digit is not altogether certain but it does resemble most a 5, albeit "on its back".
