alanwatkins New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 04/28/2013 8:58 pm I thought this would be easy to id since it has so many characters on it, but I can't seem to find what alphabet it is. I'm also not completely sure that the coin is right side up or if this is the obv/reverse, but this looked like the most natural orientation. The other strange thing about this is that to get the orientation to be the same on the other side, I flipped the coin upside down and gave it a quarter turn to the left.

I've done a quick search through Indian States, Nepal and Tibet, without spotting a match yet. 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

alanwatkins New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 04/29/2013 4:19 pm Wow, yep, that's it...I was able to find it in searches after knowing the name! I tried to date it...that's the part of the coin that seems to be most worn. My best guess is 1898. Thanks everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
