Anzelmas Valued Member Sweden 171 Posts	Posted 10/08/2021 4:29 pm Hi, m8s! I am trying to identify this coin/medal/token for a long time. I posted the photos in several forums, but no luck. Maybe here? Bronze? Weight 3.25 g Diameter 24.60 mm Report this Post to the Staff

daltonista Pillar of the Community United States 1058 Posts	Posted 10/08/2021 9:20 pm Sorry I can't help with specifics, but if it were mine I'd start my research with the Numista index (at numista.com) and open up the links and sub-sections organized under India. Eventually you'll see a group of coins that look similar and those will be your clues. Here's where you're headed: Let us know what you learn!

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 10/10/2021 10:42 pm The writing just doesn't look right for any language so I'm with Spence. Nonsensical script on some ornament. Like gobbledygook Chinese characters that look Chinese but mean nothing. Report this Post to the Staff
Numiscrat Valued Member United States 221 Posts	Posted 10/11/2021 12:31 am Also agree with Spence. Notice that whoever made this didn't go to too much trouble to create a different obverse and reverse—the two sides are just mirror images. Maybe it has some dark, secret message when you read the inscription backwards on the reverse, kind of like decades ago when a few rock albums were alleged to have special messages when played backwards (backmasking). . Nahhh...... Report this Post to the Staff
