Awesomesauce123 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/05/2017 7:28 pm I have had these for years and finally decided to try and figure out their origin. I have an idea from searching they're probably middle eastern. Any info is appreciated, thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Awesomesauce123 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/05/2017 8:08 pm I'd say the brown one is 1.7cm and weighs 2/2.5grams. And the silver one is 1.9cm and weighs 1.5/2grams. Hope that helps. Report this Post to the Staff

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 09/13/2017 3:16 pm The silver coin is issued in the name of Ahamad shah Bahadur in his 5th regnal year by the Maratha Confederacy. Mint is Katak, without mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 09/15/2017 12:38 am Here is reference to your silver coin. This figure is taken from the book "Coinage of the Bhonsla Rajahs of Nagpur" by Prasanth P Kulkarni, the renowned numismatist. 1. "shah bahadur". Ahmad precedes it and is off flan.Your coin has a circular shroff mark onerlying this part. 2. two dots denoting the mint 3. four dots again denoting mint 4. mint name. Portion after the "te" is "kaf" that is only partially visible on your coin. 5. numeral "5". This is written slightly differently on your coin. Both the styles are known on coins. The part of the legend on the right of "5" appears like "10" making a reading of "510". Such fictitious dates also are common on later Maratha coins. In all probabilities, this coin has been issued by the Maratha ruler Raghuji I (1730-1755.AD) You can see another coin of this type here https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...-009_opt.jpg Edited by drnsreedhar 09/15/2017 3:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
