The rupees of Ahmedabad in name of Shah Jahan III are difficult to find. The ½ Rupee is / was elusive. I was fortunate to have a friendly dealer remember me when he chanced to see it.

Congratulations, Amit! A wonderful catch. You didn't mention your nose, but let's say I hope it healed from the previous coin. Meanwhile, you must have an authoritative collection of Ahmedabad coins. Will there be a book on them any time soon?

Yes, Peter. I do plan to publish the coins of Ahmedabad. I have picked up a fair number of unlisted coins, including coins which are also not listed in the book by Arthur & Tariq.

That is great news indeed! Every good new book is a step ahead in our understanding of history, therefore our understanding of today.
