Looking at a map of Asia in 1770s there appears as though there is only one country this coin can be from and in turn only one coin this can be.

Very unusual coin if I am correct.

Well done OzLeigh that is correct.
Not too hard once you narrow done the countries and years.

1. They are suppose to be rare.
2. A friend bought it in a market in Sri Lanka
3. Previous feedback from this forum

Here's some others I received at the same time.

Ok, I have something.

Nowhere near as interesting as triggersmob's last couple of coins, but they are a hard act to follow.
