Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 09/02/2014 09:48 am I received this one today.. i read India, so probably it's from India.. So I guess it has something to do with some European influences otherwise they didn't put "India" on it.. Thanks in advance for the help.. Weight = 7 grams. Diameter = +/- 19mm Thickness = 3mm Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 09/02/2014 10:57 am Can't say I've seen the type before. The Patina Makes the coin look very old but no Native Indian Coinage ever said India until Independence in 1947 and this definitely isn't a republic Indian coin. If this is genuine I'd have to guess it's colonial, likely Portuguese (I doubt it's British) or it could also be Dump Coinage from one of the Princely States. This should give you a good reference point. Good Luck! Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2880 Posts	Posted 09/02/2014 3:25 pm While I don't recognize it I would have read that coin differently. I'd rotate it 90 degrees and it looks like a * K for a 20 nummi of the Byzantine Empire. Maybe that helps My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Edited by Bacchus2 09/02/2014 3:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 09/03/2014 06:38 am Thanks Bacchus2.. I think your right.. My best guess right now, Maurice Tiberius, 582-602 AD, AE half follis. But I need to do more research.. Report this Post to the Staff
