I don´t have the faintest idea what they are... but luckily I know the right forum to ask Diameter is roughly 21 mm. Thanks a lot! Best Report this Post to the Staff

Here's a thread discussing this type of coin, with many photos, where you might find matches. http://goccf.com/t/266233 It looks like the third one is from the Sultans of Kashmir. Here's a list of this type of coin in Zeno you can look through for a match if you wish. http://search.zeno.ru/index.php?v=0...=&e=&f=0&s=0 Edited by Seeker55 08/23/2021 9:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
