Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 2:20 pm Looks like a half pagoda, but I have never seen one with writing on both sides. It shoild have writing on one side and a Hindu deity on the other. See: http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/...agodabig.jpg Does it check out as real gold? I have read that in the 50s and 60s, a lot of Indians did unofficial re-strikes of these coins (mainly fanams) from old soverigns. The fanams also concern me--I have never seen them with such large, flat details. Report this Post to the Staff
