I figured out that they are supposed to be from Nepal and Tibet, but that's all I managed. And do they look genuine to you? Thanks very much for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

The top picture shows the reverses, so the bottom ones are the obverses. Likely genuine, not worth to make a forgery of a common and cheap coin - nothing from the pictures would indicate that either would be a cheap copy (as exist of some cheap chinese coins).

Dots, lines.... So it is a little bit difficult for a correct determination Corrections welcome Report this Post to the Staff

Oriental Numismatic Society, Occasional Paper, no. 17, January 1983. which is only a 20 page pamphlet if you can find it as an off cut.
