thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 7:52 pm I don't know if this is writing or just a pattern, but I'm pretty sure it is ancient. 15mm at its widest. I'm also not sure which way is up. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 10:32 pm Man, this is a hard one. My first thought was that the upper pic was a really archaic-looking Sasanian style bust, but then I started seeing hoofs (when it's rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise)...but I don't know if I'm just imagining that. I hope someone recognizes it. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 12:21 am May be a 1/2 Jital of Krishnadevaraya of Vijayanagara (1520-1528 AD). The hoofs I saw could be the bull (rotate your top image 90 degrees counter-clockwise) which is referred to in the description of the obverse on some of these sites. http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/in...opic=21726.0 http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces52721.html https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/...KgNk4Pv1hOUQ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Copper-1-2-...380793776094 http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9heoXLwb8...LL4_COIN.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
thryan9 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 10:30 am Thank you all! I think this is a Jital, as it weighs in at 3.5g. A 1/2 Jital should be around 1.5g. That image on the obverse just does not look like a bull to me, more like an ant. Copper Jital, 3.47g Ruler : Krishnadevaraya Year : AD 1509 - 1530 Obverse : Bull, Sun and Moon Reverese : Kannada Legends Report this Post to the Staff
