silverdollar2011 Valued Member United States 385 Posts	Posted 10/11/2013 8:05 pm hello, I found these coins in a dealers junk bin (6/$1) and bought them because they seem old and could they possibly be worth much too? here they are, thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/11/2013 9:12 pm These coins as a lot would normally be taken from junk bins for a total of around $15 to $20. Fully identified and described they would be worth in total about twice that. The first coin is a bronze kahavanu of the Cholan kings of Ceylon circa 12th century. Value fully identified around $10 to $15. The square coin is a bronze anna of Hyderabad. There is an earlier series of these of nearly the same design, in copper nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 10/11/2013 11:43 pm Number two and three are from Thailand. Two Y#37 is a 10 Satang BE2465 (1922) about 50 cents. Three Y#35 is a 1 Satang BE2478 (1935) again about 50 cents. Both types were produced over many years and are fairly common. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 07:00 am #1 is your oldest coin and the only one here not from the 20th century. It's from the Chola dynasty of southern India, from some time in the period AD 1100-1300. The rulers of Sri Lanka made similar looking coins slightly later. Compare your coin with the examples on these zeno.ru pages. #2 and #3 have been answered above. #4 is from the Indian princely state of Hyderabad, 1 anna dated 1362 in the Islamic calendar (= AD 1943). #5 is also from Hyderabad and is dated the same year as previous; this one is presumably a 2 pai since that is the only bronze type that is holed. #6: from the Indian princely state of Kutch, dated AD 1920, a 1 trambiyo I believe (can we have a size for this one, please? If it's 15mm, it's a trambiyo, if it's 20mm then it's a dokdo). #7: from the Indian pricely state of Junagadh, 1 dokdo dated 1966 in the Vikramasamvat calendar (= AD 1909). #8: back to Hyderabad again, this time a 2 pai dated 1330 (= AD 1912). This one is noteworthy: it's actually the "short 'ain" variety and a little more expensive than the "full 'ain" type the same date; even in this poor condition, probably worth a few dollars. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
