Another great piece from an ultra-short reign. Is it the light or is the bottom sharply struck and the top weaker? If so, the flan could be thicker at the bottom. These hammered coins are so full of character...

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Yes the flan is a little thick at side and sunlight at early morning is showing more of it. I love the word Shahanshah on it.,
and I am sure it must have been the Sayed brothers who decided the title for him, because he was not mature to  decide his title at the age of 17.

Those tumultuous times can easily be imagined as the inspiration for a Bollywood film (Unstoppable passions of Rafis and Sayeds?) Or would it be too bloody?

That is a nice looking coin with some interesting history attached to it. I am still trying to find my first Rafi-Ud-Darjat coin which I like. These are very hard to come by here. :( Most which show up are look pretty beat up. TFS.
