Appears copper, 19mm, weight approx 4g Edited by Coinaholic73 10/18/2024 5:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/18/2024 4:35 pm @coin, that is an interesting piece. Can you please add the weight too, as that sometimes helps in identification? Thx. I did find one other example of this token on the interwebs (someone--perhaps you--asking about this exact piece). Hopefully CCF can be more insightful!

Coinaholic73 Valued Member United Kingdom 298 Posts	Posted 10/18/2024 6:00 pm Have updated, its about 4g - quite heavy for such a small token. Other post was not me so it seems there is more than one out there (unless we have the same one!) I'm intrigued by the spelling of 'doller' Report this Post to the Staff
Brummagem Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 10/19/2024 12:00 am I have one similar - it is about 18mm and lighter at about 2.3g. Sorry for the bad quality images. I saw your post and had to find mine and then took the photos under sub-par conditions. My guess was that it was made in British-India under Queen Victoria as some sort of token. But I haven't been able to convince myself to let it go until I hopefully figure it out! :) Report this Post to the Staff
Coinaholic73 Valued Member United Kingdom 298 Posts	Posted 10/19/2024 06:38 am Very interesting! The portait of the 'queen' (intended to be Victoria maybe) is a lot less flattering on mine than yours even disregarding the desperate Dan chin I'm going to look around a few of the old Indian princely state coins to see if the script in the centre circle is similar to any.
