Jim Delaney Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 11:01 am Had this one for years and I almost tossed it out thinking it was a piece of scrap metal. I think it is Indian but not sure. It appears siver and is 8 mm in size. Any ideas? Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 9:51 pm The link above is to an AV Fanam, from a very different part of India and several hundred years removed. The Sindhi Amirs were in what is today NW India (north of Mumbai), eastern Pakistan and SE Afghanistan (sort of a straight line north to south), different slightly from the modern Sindh. The Fanam you linked to is from the southern tip of India. Report this Post to the Staff
