I've 4 coins out of which 2 are almost unreadable, but still I tried taking close up pictures if anyone can guess what these coins are. Your help will be greatly appreciated: Coin 1  coin 2  coin 3  coin 4  |

I was just going through other posts and so many of you seem to me "Masters" in identifying coins. How come no one has identified my coins yet? :( Silence is breaking my patience! I hope someone can come up with some information about these coins.

 to CCF! There are definitely folks here who will be able to attribute your coins. Your patience is necessary because the coins you have are not the most common collected. I can tell you the top 3 look to be Indian Muhgal types. It hasnt even been 12 hours so relax....take a deep breath....someone knowledgeble will chime in.  |

@amida17 Thanks for the welcome. I am confident some knowledgeable will come up with accurate information. I'm soo surprised to look at different coin collections among CCF members. Very good place to show your collection and to get more information about the same. Kudos to all of you!

The first coin is from the Indian State Nawanagar, possibly a dokdo (KM#7) or a dhinglo (KM#8), struck around 1850 with frozen date AH(9)78

@Apollo thanks a lot, I appreciate your effort.
@bart thanks a lot. I did look up those and print on both side is very similar to what you came up with. Thanks for the solution. Hoping if someone can solve the mystery of 2nd, 3rd and barely recognizable 4th coin.

Coin no.s 1 and 2 are of Nawanagar. They are issued imitating the style of Gujarat sultan Muzaffir shah. On the bottom, "Sree Jama" can be seen struck in Devanagari script. Jama stands for Jamnagar which was the capital city and the princely state was known by its capital.Presence of this legend is confirmatory of its origin from Nawanagar.   The denomination of the coin should be Dokdo or One and a half dokdo. Coins 3 and 4 cannot be identified from the images. As regarding No.4, the coin is so worn out that it looks impossible. |
