Second, best practice is to start separate threads for each different piece, but I can at least address your second one. It is not a coin, but rather a temple token from India. Here is a numista link to a similar piece: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces169605.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Kushan feudatories, Yaudheya copper "tetradrachm", ca. 200-300 AD Edit - Looking at it again, I believe it is a counterfeiter's mold for the type. Whether ancient or modern I am not sure 2. Temple token 3. Mughal or princely states rupee, late 1700s? 4. Princely states, mid-late 1800s, dont recognize the type offhand. Edited by Finn235 02/20/2020 9:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 02/21/2020 8:17 pm Welcome! For coins 3 and 4, weights and dimensions would help with identification. Also to aid identification the first photo of coin 3 should be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. I believe that both photos of coin 4 should be rotated 180 degrees, and in general it would help to crop photos. Edited by Seeker55 02/21/2020 8:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 02/28/2020 04:38 am The Yaudheya molds turn up now and then. If I remember correctly, it isn't known with certainty whether the official Yaudheya coins were cast or if the cast coins are contemporary counterfeits. The mold is probably a bit more valuable than the coin. Interesting group! Report this Post to the Staff
