Please no jokes about these coins being the wrong way around - I just haven't got time to figure out how to place them right!

Okay, here are the Nepal coins I made a message about requesting identification for the other day. I wonder if these are genuine?
Opinions please!

They look fair dinkum to me.

Nepali coins are always thin, and were often made of silver of dubious quality, so they always "feel fake and sound funny" compared to a solid silver coin from Britain or the Americas. But the Chinese fakemasters don't seem to target these - they're too small and thin. There may be a cottage industry making fakes of these in Nepal itself, but I haven't heard anything to that effect.

You summed up my thought exactly there - they feel strange and are thin, but from the photos they don't actually 'look' like replicas...
Glad I won these last Sunday :)
