Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 7:09 pm Hello, Can anyone ID these two coins I had purchased some years back... I believe the seller said they were from India, bit I'm not really sure now... The seller also claimed the smaller coin was a error strike, and honestly, since I don't know the language, I don't know and hope those that know this type of coinage can share some of their knowledge... Many Thanks... Report this Post to the Staff

Babar Valued Member Pakistan 207 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 03:15 am The 2nd one is a 1 dokdo coin from the Indian Princely State of Junagadh. The portion where the date would've been is damaged, so I can't read it, but the coin was minted from 1907 to 1910 (dated 1964 to 1967 in the script and calender used). The obverse (top pic, which is upside-down) says in urdu "State of Junagadh One Paisa", and the reverse (right side up- it is of coin alignment) says "Sorath Division" (the area in Gujrat that Junagadh was in) above, "1 dokdo" in the centre, and the date would be below, which I can't really read because of the damage. While up to the "19--" is visible to me from the picture, I can't see beyond that. If you can make it out with it in hand, you could try finding out yourself (it could only possibly be 4, 5, 6 or 7): You can get technical information here: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17565.html (don't worry about the image, it is not in colour) Edited by Babar 09/20/2012 03:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

I collect (or used to) error coins and the 1st coin was also sold to me as a double strike, and at the time I failed to write down any information when I placed the high bid on it, and years later, I don't remember any information about it, other then it may be from India.
