Hi,

Can someone please tell me what these coins are.
I think they are Bhutan but I'm not sure what year or denomination.
They weigh 4g each.
Thank you

aquilacavallo is correct. These are Bhutan half rupees, formerly called debs but now called matams. Here's a paper that might help identify them further.
