HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25004 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 6:24 pm This coin was in a large lot of older international coins which I acquired. I've tentatively identified it as a 1 Rupee - Shah Alam II. Weight = 12.38 g; diameter ~ 28.7 mm. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I scrolled through many entries on Numista to arrive at my ID. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces335106.html Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25004 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 7:10 pm Thank you, Seeker55! I bought the lot for a couple of bronze 100 Mon and a silver Bu from Japan, and this one was hidden under the stack in the auction pic. Quite a few more for me to dig through.
