Shah Jahan /Multan

[Atul ks]

Thanks Soro Sir. what date it may be ascribed to of minting?

[saro]

The regnal year "7" is placed in the loop of "N" of "Jahan" / no AH date
the mintname is at left side (1st scan)

[Atul ks]

thanks Soro Sir.

There is a list of Mughal emperors with dates here. It says that the reign of Shah Jahan started in 1037 AH (1628 AD). It follows that regnal year 7 coins should be dated 1044, give or take a year due to overlaps.

On the right picture lower left edge are two figures which look like Persian '4's.

That looks but that isn't... these are letters, parts of " عدل عمر  " (epithet of the caliph Omar / "the justice of Omar")

I thought the tail end of the date was visible at 7 o'clock and ends with a 3 so 1043?

I'd say 1044 / 7. For comparision, see this coin. The 3 is clearly defined. In the coin posted on this thread, the last digit is not very clear but surely does not look like a 3.

If the last digit is a 4 and the one preceding ( which is partly visible) is also a 4 then they do not match as a pair for 44 which is why I thought it was a badly engraved 3

Vic, you seem to be correct.

Here is one with 1044 / 7 just to compare........
