Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 10/18/2011 10:15 am The script is too clean and readable for it to be Mongol. The style is more Mughal Indian, which also used the kalima-in-square design until the reign of Akbar. At the moment, I'm leaning towards it being a religious token, rather than an actual coin. What are its size and weight? 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.

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 09:19 am This is a temple token as Sap suspects. Though the script looks like that of a Mughal coin, the data written on it is different. On one side there is Kalima and on the other, an imitation of Mughal rupee, but reads "Muhammad Badshah" which never occurs on a Mughal coin. Execution is crude compared to Mughal coins.
