Sap Moderator Australia 16864 Posts	Posted 03/26/2009 9:49 pm I can't read Sanskrit, Hindi or any of the other languages written in the Devanagari alphabet, but I can tell you this is a coin from the Indian state of Gwalior - the cobra, spear and trident logo appears on many of their more modern coins. The coin is a 1/4 anna dated 1958 according to the Vikramasamvat calendar, which equates to 1901 AD. Listed in Krause as KM# 169. 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

If you want to lift the curse from yourself you must sent it to the first yank to post in this thread" Yep that is what it says alright. No really good luck deciphering it though. I am curious myself. Report this Post to the Staff
