Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 4:20 pm @lion, I'm wondering if you don't have a 19th Century Rupee from the Sultantate of Sindh here. Check out these numista and acsearch links for comparison coins. Hopefully one of our experts will check in to either correct me or confirm that I've got it right. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1278766 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces81746.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

I remember reading about one state that had some wording instead of the monarch's effigy. Sort of sticking half a finger at the British instead of a full finger. Maybe having a lion was a way of refusing to use the effigy but at the same time kind of acknowledging British rule. Report this Post to the Staff
