Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 635 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 11:20 am It's a half rupee from India, but I can't be more specific than that. Hopefully another member will be able to identify it more fully. Note added later: Possibly Shah Alam II. Looks similar to this one https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=104513 Yours has regnal year 2 or possibly 2X with X off the flan Edited by Seeker55 03/03/2022 11:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

Looking through the half rupees of Shah Alam II in Krause, yours looks quite similar to those of the Surat mint, KM #707, though your year is not listed there. Krause sometimes doesn't include all the possible years. You have a nice piece of history. Edited by Seeker55 03/04/2022 10:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
