pml New Member Portugal 2 Posts	Posted 01/28/2020 3:43 pm Hi, I recently bought this coin in Tibet. However, I'm pretty sure it is not a Tibetan coin (at least it doesn't look like anything I could see about Tibet). My next guess would be a coin from India, but I also could not find anything even close to this design in old Indian coins. I even checked Nepalese coins, which vaguely resemble this one, but none exactly like this... Finally, I tried Thailand, as the characters on one side seemed like Thai, but no luck either. What is this coin then? Can somebody help me? Report this Post to the Staff

The second photo appears to have a date at bottom, which may be 1815 in the Nepalese calendar (maybe someone else with more expertise in these coins will come along with a better guess). What is the diameter of the coin? Edited by tdziemia 01/28/2020 5:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I wouldn't have get even close to this, as this a kingdom which is all new to me (although I already visited Nepal and learned about some of the old kingdoms there). Regards.
