I kept coming across these two characters sitting but I was not looking for them. Now, I am and I can not find them. Does anyone recognize this coin. 29 mm, plain edge Country or province. Looked in India, Nepal, Bhuttan, Thailand maybe it is a male spot blindness. Recognize these two ?

Try Ethiopia(?) The script might look like that type used in east Africa by Amharic and Tigrinia speaking people.

It is indeed an Indian temple token. But it's not rare, and probably not actual silver.

Rarity was questionable as was the silver content... the above info was from an ebay listing, which jpeg and description was suspect, I copied it.
