avaldivia New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 04/18/2012 01:57 am I need help identifying this coin. I believe the script to be Indian, but obviously I could be wrong. The identification of this coin would be most appreciated, along with a possible date and estimated value. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. Report this Post to the Staff

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 04/18/2012 11:43 pm This is not a coin, but a temple token. Ramatanka usually depicts Lord Rama on one side. This one shown is not of that variety. On the upper image, as already pointed out, is Kali the goddess of revenge for good causes stands on Darika, a demon who used to harm the world. The legend on the right in Devanagari reads "Kali Matha" and that is repeated in North eastern language on the left side.On the lower image, there is figure of Lord Krishna the god of love and Radha, his fiancee. Script reads "Radhakrishna" in both languages. Since the script other than Devanagari looks like either Bangala or Assamese, the token might be from one of those states of Bengal or Assam.
