Nice group of South Asian coins there. At a buck each, I'd say you did great. Thanks for sharing.

@jay, a coin similar to #6 has been posted here on CCF before. Compare your coin with the one on this thread: http://goccf.com/t/302349At first, I was excited because it looked like a so-called Octopus Man, but upon closer examination and comparison with my Lapa reference, I don't think that I was right.

Ok nice. I stand corrected--that does look like an Octopus Man now the images are right-side up.
