The first, which is dateless but is the more modern of the two, may be from Nepal or Tibet. But I'm really not sure. The Second, which appears to be cast zinc or tin, has the date 1321 (1904-5CE). Any help IDing these would be appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 09/26/2016 8:23 pm I was going to suggest earlier, but had to cut away, a closer match to Kelantan due to the date not matching Palembang, but I see no need now. The date 1321 (1903) is on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
