Hello guys, would you like to take a look at this coin and help me grade / try to find approximately value or at least tell me little more about it. I've found it in recently bought lot.

I grade this VG10 and identify it as British East India Company half anna dated 1834 and in the Persian script, 1249.

I think it is KM252.

Krause's pricing structure - see https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1579756
doesn't make any sense - I sometimes wonder whether they make them up.

I think your coin should be valued around $10.

The fulcrum of the balance scale on the reverse is resting on the letter "l" of the Arabic/ Persian word 'adl meaning "just". A nice bit of coin design.

@Pertinax, thanks for the link! I really couldn't find info about "bigger letters" type, I was searching on ebay, but all of the coins where"small letters" type. @Kushanshah, thanks for that info, it's always good to know new things about the coins we own!

One recent ebay sale of the large letter type: https://www.ebay.com/itm/INDIA-BRIT...AOSwihpaw6TH

Final sale was "best offer" so it's hard to know the sale price.
