vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/18/2012 9:25 pm Bizzare to say the least. I'm thinking it's some kind of token. Aluminum possibly. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 12:14 am As pointed out in the thread amida17 linked to, it's an Indian temple token, though not of the usual Ramatanka style. As for what it's made of, older temple tokens are made of silver, more modern copies are typically a pewter-type alloy. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 08:50 am It appears to be the Goddess Kali on one side and Lord Rama with probably Laxmi on the other. If it's a temple token then it's certainly unusual. Report this Post to the Staff
drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 2:36 pm It surely is a temple token. And it is Kali also. On the right of the figure, it is written "Kali mata" in devanagari script. Report this Post to the Staff
