Rare Coin and Currency collection thread

I have a hobby of collecting coins and rare notes, mostly they are Indians but I have managed to get hands on some foreign currency as well.
I will update my collection over here.

A friend of mine has Mughal era coins, more than 50 of them. Don't have more details.

Any idea about the market rate that coin collectors are paying for such coins?

Is it true the old large 5 rupee coin - that very large one with Indira Gandhi Image - is used in black magic ??? That is what I was told by a friend many years ago. That only a few of them were made and it immediately disappeared from market because its alloy was so special and unique that Tantriks use it for magic to create rain of (rupee) notes.

Apparently that is how Ambani bacame so reach suddenly (so I was told)
.







I might have one. Kitna rate milega?
