Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 6:49 pm Welcome treasure2012! Holy cow! You must have been surprised when you found those. I think on the top in the first photo are Indian temple tokens. The rest are unknown to me. I'll e-mail our member drnsrheedar as he can help you out the most. Can you post a photo of each coin individually and each side, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 04/02/2012 02:41 am Thank you Apollo for the e-mail. The coins are for sure Indian. I have tried to identify them as much as possible from the single side image available. images 1,2 and 4 are charms. Image no.3 could possibly be a coin of "sangha period"(1-3. Centuries) issued by Cheras (if you see a bow and arrow on the other side) or Pandyas (if you see a stylised fish on the other side). Coin no.s 8 and 10 are Bahmani coins. No. 10 is Ahmad shah. All other coins are Mughal issues. No.5 is Ahmad shah,12 is a copper issue from Elichpur mint and 13,15 and 16 are coins issued from Surat mint, name of the ruler being on the other side. With larger images of both the sides, almost all the coins can be precisely identified. In the other photograph with a heap of coins, they are mostly of Mysore, Wodeyar period. They can be identified from Krause's book on South Asian coins and paper money. Hope this was helpful. Happy digging! Edited by drnsreedhar 04/02/2012 02:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

Going to be a blunt and say are they worth a lot? to collector and how do I going about finding out what they are worth. I don't know what to do with them.
