Hi

I'm having huge trouble dating some Delhi coins. I hopefully ID-ed them correctly - please share if my identification seems wrong in any way.
Here we go:

Found it here: http://coinindia.com/galleries-khalji.html
Now where is the date ? I see a "19" on side A, but that doesn't help much ...

Found it here: http://coinindia.com/galleries-lodi.html
Also on numista:  https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces38507.html
I am assuming it's "918" on side A. Is this correct of it the first number too far off strike to tell ?

I see 775 on side A. Is this good ? Well just when i thought the date was obvious, numista says there are none with that date.  8~

Is the date missing from the numista list ?

And also numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces38885.html

Numista lists this as no date. Is this true ?

Thank you for your time
Hi,

1.  Jalal al-din Firuz (1290-1296), Copper paika

  No Date on this coin.
  
2. Sikandar Shah Lodi (1488-1517) Silver tanka, AH 918

  "1" and "8" seems clear enough, So would also guess it's AH 918
  
3. Firuz shah Tughluq - Tanka

  Date is clear AH 775. So i would guess that's a change request to our admins.

4. 'Ala' al-din Muhammad Khalji (1296-1316) Billon 2-gani

  Your ID is correct. Your coin does not seem to show any dates.

5. Ghyath al-Din Balban - Jital

  Yes it is DR#927, No Mint and No Date type coin.

Thank you ! I finally have all the data i need to put them in their folders.  :D

The first coin i posted doesn't exist on numista. This one is close: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces53042.html but it's not from Jalal al-din Firuz , wrong inscription i think.
Are my pictures good enough to add on the numista catalogue ? I never added a coin before.

Definitely Yes. You have a nice coin picture more than good enough for Numista!

I don't think the link works for anybody else before verification tho.
A wierd thing i forgot to ask in the last section. I had to select in the "Currency" selection menu between "Indian states - Delhi Sultanate - Rupee (1206-1526)" and "Indian states - Delhi Sultanate - Rupee (1206-1526)" - both the same.  B.

It's validated !

My first added coin !

I wish i had a scanner or good camera. I have another coin that is not on numista - a coin from the dutchy of Teschen. Not even the dutchy exists on numista.  B.
I will also have a Ragusa coin that is not here, but i already have good pictures of it. Also an Amirs of Sindh coin (maybe) - i haven't ID-ed it yet and might ask for help soon.
Hope to see lot more additions from you  :)
