theunsla Valued Member South Africa 112 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 02:24 am This is my final question about Indian princely states. I might just give up collecting these... I am told that this is a Tegh Shahi Paisa from Datia circa 1840. 8.5g and 15mm wide. However, the markings (some kind of fish) is not typical of Datia. Can anyone please help?

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 11:13 am I didn't post this last night after looking into it, but I thought it probably was too. It is just a bit too crude for me to be certain. Datia has a number of mint marks that could resemble the one on your coin- especially if worn down or crudely struck. However, a few others could also be possible. I don't see anything though that makes me think it really is something else. Report this Post to the Staff

Now you understand why these fascinating coins can be purchased unattributed for $1 or $2. Don't give up!
