Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/29/2018 4:41 pm Neither celtic nor ancient; it's a silver chuckram from the south Indian Princely state of Travancore, late 1800s https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1474676 They are quite common; the Travancore government would import dollars and other .900 fine silver foreign coins and have them melted down and re-struck into chuckrams, which were apparently more useful to them. They are regularly offered for sale and usually go for a few bucks each. Report this Post to the Staff
