Sikandar Shah, Silver Tanka, 10.83g, Mulk Nawalistan Mint (Not listed in G&G). Very fine+, extremely rare. A mint named ‘ChawalistanurfArsahKamru’ has been recorded for this ruler. Coins of the type offered here were recently discovered in a small hoard and they appear to have the mint-name inscribed as ‘Nawalistan’ instead of ‘Chawalistan’. Since this appears to have happened due to the engraver missing a small part of the stroke, the cataloguer believes that the variation is a result of an engraving error. No such place is known to exist and the word also doesn’t mean anything. The type, however, is new for this mint and remains unlisted in G&G.
