Indian Silver Coin - ( Large Diameter ) One Rupee - Overstruck -Persian Script ( Urdu ) - Sher Shah /Alauddin Khilji - Very Rare -








Diameter size  is Large ( as the big size  in British Indian Rupee and Independent India's Cupro Nickel Rupee ) - Flat - Thin

The centre of the coin is raised ( Over struck ) than Plain ( for Single Striuke coins )

It is  Overstruck ? ( meaning  struck again on an earlier coin ? ) This happened frequently in the Pre British Medieval and Ancient India when one King after defeating the Other King would overstrike the Defeated Kingdom's Coins ( Instead of Melting and Re Striking ) This overstrike was a Cheaper and a Quicker Way. Numismatic Experts can decipher the Details of Both The Old Coin and the New Coin.

Overstruck Silver Rupee Coins are very very rare ( struck after a successful military campaign ).
