philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/30/2013 3:51 pm Sorry, Conder! It is a coin! Specifically, of Portuguese India (Diu mint) under Pedro IV. Made of tin; denomination is probably 20 bazarucos, but hard to tell without the diameter. http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces49008.html Edited by philadelphian 11/30/2013 4:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 6:36 pm I stand corrected! Or would these issues be included among those minted of the zinc alloy known as tutenag? Report this Post to the Staff
