tolch123 Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 11/06/2018 02:10 am I'm looking for identification help on these two coins... Couldn't identify them, but I've got to assume they're tokens (or novelties of some sort) Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/06/2018 02:19 am I really don't know, but I agree they are non-monetary (tokens) and the last pic appears to be upside-down. I did find this (but no further info) so the second may be a reproduction of a Hindu temple token: There are similarities. On your last pic, I see "19" quite visibly, so it is likely dated to the late 20th Century.

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17941 Posts	Posted 11/06/2018 05:05 am The first one looks to me like a souvenir copy of a Greek or Roman coin such as are found on sale outside ancient sites in the Middle East. The holes indicate that it may have been sold on a bracelet or necklace. Perhaps the designer copied the various elements from different genuine ancient coins that he'd seen - the MR could mean Moneta Roma?

Can't find an exact match but there are many that have the similar design. Try researching Laxmi/Ganesh tokens...you will see many with a similar design. Report this Post to the Staff
