Copper Coins

A spiked copper wheel of Kushana era, an arrowhead of Rajput period and coins dating from the Mughal reign are among a range of ancient artefacts unearthed in the latest excavation currently underway at the Purana Qila site in Delhi.

Five months after Bronze Age chariots and coffins were found in Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat, copper coins believed to be of the same age have been unearthed in the same district. The coins, which are believed to be 1,800 years old, were spotted by the locals of the area while excavating a hillock in Khaprana village.

Over 250 copper coins belonging to the reign of Sher Shah Suri (1540-1545) and his successors have been discovered by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on the premises of Khirki Mosque in Delhi during the course of conservation of the monument.

The Rs 100 coin will be 44 millimeter in diameter with a metal composition of silver (50 per cent), copper (40 per cent), nickel (5 per cent) and zinc (5 per cent).

The Islamic State group says its leader has ordered that the organization start minting gold, silver and copper coins for its own currency-the Islamic dinar
