Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 08/29/2008 4:11 pm I have no idea what this coin is other than that it is about the size of a US half dollar. I think that it is from Mughal India. What do you guys think? Any input would be appreciated!

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 08/29/2008 6:10 pm KurtS- yeah I've been skimming thought my Krause catalogs and I really can't find a match. I just find it interesting how border on the obverse seems to be kind of close to the central circle. In essence, it almost looks as though the die may have been meant for a smaller coin.

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 08/29/2008 6:20 pm Another thought is the coin does not look struck with a die collar, so there's more metal movement which might explain wide border. I'll look around Krause too, but I find the Indian coins rather daunting to ID. If it were from Nepal, that would actually be much easier. Report this Post to the Staff
