Dragoon New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 08/11/2012 05:54 am Hello All, First time poster here. I Was hoping someone could help me identify a couple of coins I've had for a few years now (if indeed they are coins, tokens or any form of currency). They are just shy of being the same diameter as a British 5 Pence piece. Having a look around the internet they look like they could be of Indian origin?. Any help would be great. Also if a date can be provided (rough estimate) then that would be very interesting. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 08/12/2012 07:48 am Hi Bacchus2, nice to see you here.I fully agree with your identification of the first coin. The second coin is of Muhammad bin Tughlak, 1325-1351.AD D-377, Goron and Goenka Edited by drnsreedhar 08/12/2012 07:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2902 Posts	Posted 08/12/2012 07:54 am Hi drnsreedhar, Good ID on that second one, I've yet to pick up a copy of the Goron and Goenka reference. It's high on my list, but it is very pricy.

Please try your luck. http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/exp...=50&dti=text Edited by drnsreedhar 08/13/2012 11:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2902 Posts	Posted 08/13/2012 1:56 pm No problem Dragoon. And sorry for having a conversation in the middle of your thread :) Thanks for the links drnsreedhar. I visit and post quite a lot of coins on Zeno which is another great site, but it's good to have as many sources as possible.
