Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 5:14 pm The 6 pointed star with the dot in the center makes me think this coin is from Morocco but I don't recognize what looks like possible numerals on one side and I'm not seeing it in the standard catalog. It's 17mm and 5 grams. Can anyone ID? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34452 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 5:27 pm @bart, I agree that it does look weird. However, my handy-dandy coinoscope app pointed me to the Kingdom of Travancore in India. I'm pretty sure that this is a match for this 1/4 Chuckram issued by Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma VI: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces42273.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
Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 5:38 pm Yes, Spence! Definitely Travancore. However, now that I know where to look, this appears to be the 1/2 Chuckram weighing in at 5 grams. KM# 36. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34452 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 5:39 pm Ok yes good point. I didn't remember to check the weight and diameter to get the correct denomination. Well done!

Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 6:18 pm After your post, I just got Coinoscope. Worked great on the first couple of coins I tried! Thanks for sharing! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34452 Posts	Posted 01/25/2020 6:26 pm No prob @jay. It really helps in a decent percentage of unknown coins. Just don't forget to still post here occasionally.
