Amit Kher New Member India 26 Posts	Posted 06/14/2022 09:43 am requesting help for id confirmation of this coin - Dimensions - Coin # 85 Diameter: 9.5 - 10.7 mm Weight: 1.24 gm Thickness: 2.5 mm these coin came to me as Nagas dynasty coin, there are a couple of things that make me think this could possibly be a coin from South India, Mysore or some other- 1. the supposed Bull with humped back doesn't have a hump & coud be an elephant as in Mysore coins 2. searched & compared with a few dozen Naga coins on the net but couldn't find even a single specimen similar to the second image, though it has a semblance to few from Mysore couple of examples (not exact match) - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces58801.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces41011.html would be grateful for help Report this Post to the Staff

Wandering Circle Valued Member Hong Kong 176 Posts	Posted 06/14/2022 11:05 am I think it does look like a KM#146 half kasu, with the elephant facing left. Not sure why the reverse has that wavy line though. https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...duid-1491204 Report this Post to the Staff

Not sure why the reverse has that wavy line though. Could just be different strikes on the flan. Wave may be off flan I the NGC example. Report this Post to the Staff

Amit Kher New Member India 26 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 09:23 am thanks everyone; for the time I think the only choice is to accept it as 1/2 Kasu KM# 146 @David Graham all the best to find an elephant coin without mysterious inscriptions :), it troubles not to be able to get a definite attribution Report this Post to the Staff
