Rmassey210 Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 8:33 pm Hello, I am attempting to identify this coin. The best I can tell the four numbers on the back correspond to 1944 but I think I'm wrong. Can somebody steer me in the right direction on this coin? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Rmassey210 Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 8:48 pm I searched 1944 Indian Princely on Numista before posting this and nothing came up! So then just now I searched 1944 Princely and it's right there! Just in case anyone ever has the same problem with that search engine. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 9:44 pm Good tip @rm210! I used the search terms SWORD and PRINCELY STATE to find a coin of Baroda looked very similar and then searched on BARODA to find your exact coin.

Rmassey210 Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 11/29/2018 12:40 am Spence, that's a good tip also. The sword was a good identifier but I never thought of entering that as part of the search criteria. In your experience does that work with other designs on a coin? Like if you have a reasonable idea of where the coin is from to narrow the search and then enter castle, sun, moon, etc. Report this Post to the Staff

The folks at numista seem to do a good job including major design features in the searchable text of the descriptions.
