Gold
Sultans of Bengal, Ala al-Din Husain Shah (1493-1519 AD), Gold Tanka imitating the 'Victory type' not in G&G, 10.55g.
Unpublished, Extremely Fine, Extremely Rare.
The legends on obverse and reverse of this coin are crude renderings of the gold coin listed as G&G B728. Goron and Goenka list similar silver coins as B748-B750 but not a gold issue. It is possible that this is a 'Chittagong Trade Coinage' variation, as G&G comment on the silver issues, but no gold issue is listed under that category by G&G. It is therefore an interesting and unusual coin.
