kosednar New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 11/24/2015 4:05 pm Hello, These are the pictures of a coin I bought on ebay years ago. The seller said what the coin was but shipped it with no documentation and I didn't go back to the listing to write it down. I thought I would just look it up. Well, I can't find the coin in KP publications and am now I'm asking you for your help in identifying the coin. The coin is approx. square, weighs 5.5g. and is 16mmX16mm in dimension. Please help ID. Info. on price and grade would also be appreciated. Joe Kosednar Report this Post to the Staff

rooneydog Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 739 Posts	Posted 11/25/2015 05:29 am It is possibly described as 1/2 Rupee - have a look at top right coin here http://www.ebay.in/itm/Malwa-Sultan...AOSw1vlUxLvc Report this Post to the Staff
