I bought it with a group of other Indian States coins years ago- while exotic, none of them turned out to be particularly valuable. I'd be somewhat surprised if this turns out to be interesting, but I've pretty much given up on it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! TBG Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2882 Posts	Posted 05/27/2013 02:07 am HI, I think this is a Temple token intimidating a Emperor Akbar (1556-1605) rupee. I think there are a few other threads here on CCF with similar pieces.

thebugguy Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/27/2013 9:23 pm Bacchus2- Many thanks- that's exactly the lead I needed! I had a quick scan through http://www.zeno.ru- I haven't found an exact match yet, but some of images are pretty darn close. Would you have any idea of the value? Although I'd have to test it to be sure, it looks a lot like silver to me (though who knows the fineness)... cheers, tbg Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 12:25 am Here's an old thread with a similar piece; that one also "looked silver", but tested negative. As for value, not much - it's modern and not silver. I'd expect a couple of dollars in a dealer's "odd and curious" bucket. 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
thebugguy Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 2:27 pm Sap- Thanks- I haven't had a chance to follow up on this yet, but given the low monetary value of the coins I purchased it with I'm not surprised it's probably worth just a couple of bucks. Neat looking thing, though... cheers, tbg Report this Post to the Staff
