Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 02/11/2009 07:27 am Yes. It's a base-silver tangka from Tibet, struck circa 1912-1922. There mare many varieties of this coin, but I think it's KM/Y# F13.5, one of the commoner types. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

There is also a detailed monograph on the various types by an author whose name I can;t remember at the momment - but I'll look it up if anyone is interested My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
