Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 8:58 pm The second and third coin are both of the same type, which appear to be a 1/16 rupee from British India, both dated 1823 (see here). The fourth and fifth coins both look like they are from the Indian state Hyderabad. I cannot date the fourth one, and it is hard to see the last digit in the fifth one's date (I am thinking 1307, or 1890 in the Gregorian calendar). Those two last ones would be different denominations, so could you provide a measure of the diameters to help determine what they are? And I know I have seen the first one before somewhere... Edit: found it. The last one is 1 chuckram from the Indian state Travancore, dated from 1811 to 1901 (found here). Edited by Joseph7420 01/08/2017 9:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
baton New Member Canada 12 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 9:07 pm Thank you, Joseph! The diameters of coins as they appear are: 6 mm, 10 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, and 15 mm. Are those coins valuable? Report this Post to the Staff

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 9:31 pm Perfect! With those diameters, the fourth would be a 1/8 rupee, and the fifth a 1/4 rupee (found here and here). As for values, I am not exactly sure. NGCcoins has a price guide, though I am not sure how accurate it would be. Here are the four links anyways: https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...-duid-133952 https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...-duid-334119 https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...-duid-142888 https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...-duid-142927 And the first link narrows down the chuckram's date to 1860 to 1901, so that seems like a better range than 90 years.
