Sap Moderator Australia 16876 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 8:27 pm It appears to be an Indian "star" pagoda. NGC database page. However, I have to question the authenticity of yours. Perhaps it's just the combination of lighting and camera you've used, but the high points on your coin appear to be wearing away showing a darker-coloured metal underneath. I wouldn't expect to see that on a genuine pagoda. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

Unless it is made of actual gold like the original in which case it's worth its weight in gold (quite literally). I doubt your coin is gold though, the colour just seems to be brass over a base-metal like copper. Report this Post to the Staff
