Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 03/05/2016 07:52 am Hi. The token on the left is a Hindu temple token called a Ramatanka. If you search for this keyword within CCF, you'll find many examples of them. https://goccf.com/t/189906&SearchTerms=ramatanka "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 03/05/2016 07:52 am Google IMAGES for "indian religious tokens", and images of tokens similar to the one on the left will be found. The other one, I think, depicts GANESH. Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here) See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) Report this Post to the Staff
