Hai alecon, welcome to the forum  . The image you uploaded looks like a Paisa coin of Bundi state of India, issued by the local ruler "Ramsingh" in the name of George V.The figure that looks like the English letter "A" is the dagger symbol. Usual weight is around 5 grams. Please refer to Y#15,Standard Catalogue to South Asian Coins and Paper money, Krause Publications.

A beautiful Dam from Ahmadabad mint. Mint epiphet "Dau us sultanat" and the pattern of the coin indicate "Ahmadabad". Parts of the mint name Ahmadabad can be seen on the top row of obverse. On the reverse, the date in numerals and in words are struck.  Edited by drnsreedhar

I am impressed by your coin collection. Thank you for sharing it. On a different topic https://goccf.com/t/111602I found something I had no idea about. Having read your posts I now think it might be a coin similar to yours, but not in such good condition. What can you tell me about this coin? Thanks in advance. |

Dear Anaximander:) Your coin looks very much like an Indian state coin. Had the lines encircling the dots been scalloped, the origin of the coin could have been fixed as Bijapur, but it is not. I shall be in the look out for a clear identification. I have seen similar coins, but still they are not properly attributed. Sorry to disappoint you. Shall be in touch if information can be offered. Thanks.

Nice coins! Quite heavy and thick. I was wondering, do you know why they made them so thick?
