Leipeneier Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 02/28/2022 9:23 pm Hi, I hope this isn't too many but here are a few Oriental coins that have me stumped. Some of them I can tell the region but exact ID I am not sure. From left to right, top to bottom, the weights are as follows: Coin 1. 4.94g (I believe to be a Shakya Janapada 5 Shana but not sure exact variety) Coin 2. 11.17g Coin 3. 11.93g Coin 4. 3.94g Coin 5. 4.55g (Tibetan, but not sure exact ID) Coin 6. 10.44g Coin 7. 3.07g Coin 8. 7.05g Coin 9. 2.6g Coin 10. 5.6g Coin 11. 2.19 Coin 12. 9g Coin 13. 10.17g Coin 14. 4.18g Coin 15. 1.44g Thanks, William Report this Post to the Staff

That way your pics can focus on just the details of a single coin.

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 02/28/2022 11:11 pm I agree that one coin per thread is best, and if more than one similar coin they should be numbered in the photos. But I can tell you that in the top row the fourth one is a Gadhaiya paisa and the fifth one is a deb from Bhutan. Maximum diameters to the nearest millimeter are also needed to use databases for ID.

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 4:21 pm Guidelines for posting are in the first message on this board https://en.numista.com/forum/topic71935.html You'll have much better success getting your coins identified if you repost, one coin per thread, with clear cropped photos of both sides, weight and diameter. That way members can enlarge your photos, use databases, and concentrate on one at a time. Personally I won't attempt full attributions without this info. Best of luck to you.
