Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 06:25 am @CG, it looks vaguely Indian to me, with that swastika and multi-layered hill on the second picture (which should be rotated CCW by 90 degrees). We have a couple folks who know this stuff way better than me who will weigh in.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 10:05 am I'm afraid it's a tourist replica; the surfaces are too smooth and the devices are too clear, indicating a machine struck coin. It's imitating either a late Sunga or early proto-Satavahana coin, with a smattering of regal and Buddhist symbols. Genuine coins are usually either cast, or hammered. Usually the surfaces are quite rough and the details weak and indistinct. Report this Post to the Staff
