A peddler came in to the shop while I was there. He poured out about 100 + different Rupees from a lagre bag for the dealer to look at and hopefully buy. The dealer bought the whole bag full. I then asked the dealer if I could purchase one. He poked through the pile of Rupees and handed this one to me saying it was an expensive one. I have not been able to find an exact copy in my World Catalogs. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Hummingbird New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 12/07/2014 01:29 am Thanks for the comments. I will research Sefavid Coinage. My catalogs are Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins 1601-1700 2nd Edition to modern. On my postal scale, the weight is .3 Oz. or 0.273 Troy Ounces. Kilograms = 0kg 8.5049g I do realize that the postal weight can be quite off the mark. Measurements are aprox 22.7 X 3 thick. Edited by Hummingbird 12/07/2014 01:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
