j_hewes Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 04/26/2017 10:43 pm Hi, I found this on ebay. Looks like it's in fairly good shape, but I have no idea what it is or where it's from. A friend says the Hindi legend says "1 pai", and the reverse looks like Farsi instead of Arabic, but that is all I have been able to decipher. Any help? Thanks, John Report this Post to the Staff
