Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 09/19/2013 5:46 pm I don't know what coin it is, but it does look a bit strange to me.. I have a feeling it might be a coin from Kashmir(afghanistan) 1800's. I might be totally wrong though, but in Krausse I find it in Afghanistan Mint: Kashmir KM# 594 FALUS But a Falus weighs more around 7.40-9.00 grams, my coin is only 1.75 grams! So could it be a smaller denomination? And look at the planchet it is "smashed" on both obverse & reverse at the equal place. Hopefully someone can tell me more about it, where it's from and whah happened? More unknown coins here > https://goccf.com/t/158029 Edited by Kingz 09/19/2013 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
