@karthik, thank you for splitting these up into separate threads. For ones that are either old or copies of old coins, I'm moving them to our ancients section. I'll move this one to the unidentified section of CCF so that others can figure out if it is a coin or a token.

Looks like something from Mysore, under the Tipu sultan. That's a date above the elephant but I can't quite make it out. That ring of lines seems to be less common but used in a few types. I am by no means an expert in these types of coins but this one seems a bit crude to me.

The other elephant coin also looks like a coin from Mysore but a later date. When you post it a weight and diameter will help us get the info you need.

Im not expert in identifying fake from authentic coins .In case it is authentic ,on reverse it is written :"struck in kahlikabad". Probably a Mysore coin of Typu sultan because they use this design at that time . It could be 1 Paisa denomination but we need weight and diameter to be accurate.They are quite rare . A coin that may be similar : https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=l...969&lot=1273 |

http://goccf.com/SEk43First one is indeed similar to a 1 Paisa https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1597598Second one is similar to this and would be 25 cash, I cannot find that exact coin and it seems a bit light at 10g but I don't have many resources for princely state coins. *** Edited by Staff - Fixed url. Why anyone would put a registered symbol (®) in a url is beyond me. ***

Cannot get the link to work but it was supposed to link to all the Paisa of the Kingdom of Mysore, there are a few similar but none that are identical with a picture.

Only the first represents a coin of the Tipu Sultan, The Kingdom of Mysore became a princely state when he died and the Wadiyar regained power(sort of). I am of the opinion the first is a replica of a 1 Paisa coin. The second also seems - to me - to be a replica, but of a later coin(25 cash) issued when Mysore was a princely state. Both coins seems to be underweight. Here is an example of a different design of the 25 cash with examples of both the genuine and a reproduction. Replica: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces180864.htmlGenuine issue: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces37244.htmlEdited by Gincoin43

As above, but to add that I am quite certain that the first two are fakes owing to the fact that they are cast (granular surfaces).
