Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 09/26/2022 12:36 pm Your coin appears to be a takka from Bikanir, under Ratan Singh, 1828-1851, KM#23. Although I didn't find an exact match in Zeno, here are some with similar writing and symbols. Krause says the weights vary. https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=184900 https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=204448 https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=187446 Report this Post to the Staff
