Unfortunately I have no idea about origin, date, and value! Any help would be highly appreciated! Cheers, Benni * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Compare to the bottom coins here: http://coinindia.com/galleries-vasudeva.html Unfortunately, these don't look right. The art style is off and they are worn, but not like genuine specimens. Lots of local dynasties imitated these coins, but I strongly suspect these are modern forgeries; I have heard concerning reports of fakes coming from Pakistan lately. Can you provide more specifics on how they were found? Report this Post to the Staff
