I found this little coin in a box with a lot of other very dirty metal pieces.
After some cleaning I saw this coin:
dim : 14,55 x 15mm
weight : 2,5gr
copper
Rotation unknown
Could the trisul on the left picture mean Gwalior?
Thanks for any help

I have a coin that has a similar "trident" sign that I have tentatively marked as being from Gwalior. I will try to find it so I can compare.

Petrus: I found the coin I was looking for last night. My memory was incorrect. Originally, I had tentatively marked it was being from Gwalior, but I had changed the attribution later to Mewar and the denomination as 2 Pies. For what it is worth, I have been told by Indians who collect coins that the denomination for the older coins is somewhat arbitrary and an after the fact thing.
