Hi all, any help with this, random nugget in the collection and I am without a clue. About the size of a dime, color of old copper.

Wt: 3.47g
Diam: 18mm

Many thanks!

This looks like a matam, formerly called a deb, from Bhutan. There's a good article on these at

http://mms.thlib.org/typescripts/00...043/1560.pdf

In future please simply state the maximum diameter of a coin to the nearest mm and the weight to the nearest tenth of a gram. The way you're showing size and weight (in inches and ounces, and making the reader determine the readings and convert the units) makes it difficult to determine these.

That's it! Mine most closely matches #57 in your link, which places it early 1900s. There's a ton of these on eBay so not exactly rare.

Makes lots of sense about posting size & grams rather than pics, sorry about that, fixed now. Thanks so much!
