sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 08:16 am I am reasonably certain that 'coins' # 3,4 and 5 are temple tokens, in imitation of coins. The square 'coin' maybe of gold. What is the weight and dimensions? 'Coin' 5 maybe? gold plated. Again, need to know the weight to confirm. Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 08/19/2021 4:50 pm Welcome! Coin 2 is an example of the famous "bull & horseman" billon jital from northern historical India (including parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan). Millions of these were made, generally between 900-1300 AD, by numerous rulers, in dozens of varieties. It is often difficult to determine the variety. Here are a few good good sources of information. http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/bh.html http://goccf.com/t/267786 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...at=y&ct=coin Robert Tye's book Jitals is also a great resource. It's available as a free .pdf download (with registration) from https://www.academia.edu/356700/Jitals With the coin in hand it might be possible for you to determine the variety. I agree that 3 and 4 are Islamic Indian temple tokens. For best resuts with ID requests, weight and diameter should always be posted.

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 12/16/2021 2:27 pm Coin no.1 is an Akbar copper issue. If the weight is around 20gms, is a dam. Most probably from Narnul mint. Report this Post to the Staff
