Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 10:00 am Got this one from an ebay lot. Tried googling "copper coin with weird looking dudes" but for some reason it's not working? Anyway, pretty sure this one is an Indian temple token, but there is always the possibility that it's not. Didn't have time to measure it, but it's about quarter size and reasonably thick. Probably around 23mm and 6-8g. Appreciate any insights Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 1:34 pm Nice job Bob--these look like a match. @finn235, seems like searching on "highly stylized dudes" would have been more fruitful.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 2:11 pm Nice job, Bob! I am slowly adding these Indian coins to my mental repertoire of "I know that coin!" But with no legends, dates, or recognizable figures, it's pretty slow work. Report this Post to the Staff

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 08:12 am There are similar looking different coins of this sort. The coin you have posted is for sure of the Hindu kings of Kahsmir, Toramana or later. There is a letter "Ja" written the English letter "E" on the second image. I can give you a link http://goccf.com/t/266233 Report this Post to the Staff
