acc681a New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 8:27 pm My name is David and I am a new member of CoinCommunity. I have a silver coin from the Far East (I believe) that is the size of a U.S. quarter. I have looked under Tibet, Nepal and Indian Princely States to no avail. Can anyone give me a clue where to look for this coin? Thanks! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 02/12/2023 8:39 pm Hello and welcome. Your bottom picture is upside-down. When I see a coin with Devanagari script and a "city-view" not entirely unlike European city-view images, I immediately go to the Indian princely state of Mewar. SUre enough, your coin is there: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/me...ncely-1.html I have to go look up how big a US quarter is in millimetres, before I can tell you which denomination it is; this state issued 1 rupee, 1/2 rupee, 1/4 rupee, 1/8 rupee and 1/16 rupee coins, all with identical design, only differing in size. But the coin is dated 1985 in the vikramasamvat calendar (AD 1928). Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
