Hiya,

I bought these coins about 30 years ago in Katmandu and have been wondering if they are indeed from Nepal. Anyone have any ideas?



Thank you very much

Nige.

The third coin is a 5 paisa from somewhere between 1921 and 1931. Someone with better Nepalese language will have to pin down the exact date. Those little crossed pod-like details in the center are swords called khukris. Attribution is Krause 690.1 and the value is a couple bucks.
