thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 12/15/2014 5:17 pm I'm not sure what kind of writing this is, but it looks like it could be Arabic. Anyone know what this is? 21mm - 23mm. Edited by thryan9 12/16/2014 2:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 12/16/2014 2:11 pm Here is another that is from the same group, although I don't know if it has any relationship to the first one. Again, I have no idea what this is or which way is up. 17mm. Report this Post to the Staff

thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 12/17/2014 5:28 pm Going on that, this is what I came up with on the first coin: India. Independent Kingdoms. Maratha Confederacy. Chatrapti Shivaji Bhondale 1630 - 1680 A.D. Copper Paisa (ND). Anyone know if that is correct? Still working on the second one. Report this Post to the Staff

sangrahak New Member Azerbaijan 14 Posts	Posted 12/28/2014 09:37 am Yes Thryan9, the first Copper coin is from Maratha Dynasty in India. 1630-1680 AD. In local script, it reads :"Chhatrapati" - The honourable king. Shivajiraje Bhonsale. This is not a very rare coin. The gold coin issued by the same king is very very rare. Although 100000 coins were issued, the rival Mughal king Aurangjeb managed to collect most of them and melt those, aftr Shivaji's death! That was called "HON" Report this Post to the Staff
