Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/11/2021 2:07 pm I can't help with the second coin, but here's a starting point for the first. Princely states, Shah Alam II, AH 1192 ~ AD 1778. This one is similar, but I believe yours is from a different mint: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces131819.html Edited by Numisma 04/11/2021 2:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coins Mania Valued Member Singapore 150 Posts	Posted 04/11/2021 10:57 pm It is frustrating. I searched all over the site, still cannot find the exact match. Wish someone out there with deep knowledge in Princely State coins can pinpoint to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Coins Mania Valued Member Singapore 150 Posts	Posted 04/14/2021 09:40 am I revert to the coin shop to take a few photo of the edge. Hopefully can identify some clue as to the origin of the coin. the weight is 11.8g The shop owner tell me that the origin is Silk road. What is your take? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16245 Posts	Posted 05/13/2021 8:02 pm I believe the sun-face indicates the first coin is from Indore. Something like this one on Numista. As for your second piece, it's not a coin. It appears to be a piece of lead. Possibly a lead token from Britain or Europe. It may not be numismatic at all, but rather just a blob of lead that happens to be roundish in shape.

Spence Moderator United States 32903 Posts	Posted 05/13/2021 8:17 pm I agree that the second one looks like a lead seal. @coins, does it seem like it is made from lead?
