loose54 Valued Member United Kingdom 51 Posts	Posted 10/24/2018 4:09 pm Hi All, I have a couple of what appear to be silver coins which I suspect are Asian or Middle Eastern but I have very little knowledge of this area of numismatics. The smaller coin is 21mm and weighs 11.5 grams. The larger coin is 30mm and weighs 13.7 grams. If anyone could suggest a type or point me in the right direction I would be most grateful. Thanks in advance. Jack Report this Post to the Staff

The first (which is upside down) appears to be a rupee of the Bengal Presidency (British India). It is undated/frozen dated, and it from the late 18th/ early 19th century. It may be KM#70 The second is a 5 Kori of Kutch Princely state in India. It is from 1895 and is probably Y#37.5 Nice coins! Report this Post to the Staff
loose54 Valued Member United Kingdom 51 Posts	Posted 10/25/2018 08:02 am Hi Archraz, Thanks for your reply. The information on the 5 Kori has been very helpful. As for the other coin I am still struggling to determine what exactly it is. I am now fairly convinced it is a rupee but discerning the type is proving problematic! Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 10/25/2018 12:32 pm Look at Farrukhabad rupee, Bengal Presidency for the top coin. Both sides are upside down. I did check some of my books, and the coin may or may not be well shown depending on which book you use and catalog numbers may be different.
