Auction: 13019 - North East Indian Coins from the Nicholas Rhodes Collection
Lot: 495

Garhwal, temp. Fath Shah, Timasha, 2.59g, imitating a Nisar type of Farrukhsiyar of Shahjahanabad, legends as previous type but with name of Farrukhsiyar, dated AH 1128, crudely engraved (KM2), with some flatness, very fine, very rare

Ex-Goron collection.
It is noticeable that these Farrukhsiyar imitations start off being quite crudely engraved, with the mintname being barely recognisable. The last digit of the date is not certain but looks more like an 8 than anything else. It should be noted that, from now on, the timashas were struck in such a way that, more often than not, flat areas occur on the coins.
