However, I'm not certain as to the proper ID of either of them. In the case of the Indian coin, while I've had some experience with Devanagari script, I'm having trouble recognizing the numbering system featured on the obverse. Any help with these would be greatly appreciated! Edited by Archraz 01/04/2015 10:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
