Second one looks like British India design on obverse dated 1825, reverse I suspect is 4 cash but the centre is well worn. Again, can anyone help with info and KM ref?

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/28/2009 04:33 am Haven't been able to find a reference to the first coin. The second is a 4 Pies from the Madras Presidency, British India KM# 430. There are four varieties to this coin, this appears to be the 4th with the tip of the right spray on the reverse pointing down. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 05/28/2009 05:37 am The first one is indeed a "temple token". The second one is a 4 pies coin from the Madras Presidency. There are several varieties dated 1825, based on which way the top of the leaf on the righthand side of the "4" is pointing: up, down, or straight. On that basis, I'd say this one was pointing "down". KM# 431. 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

I'm amazed at the wealth and breadth of knowledge on this forum. It's going to save me any amount of time on internet searches, but then again that's half the fun. Report this Post to the Staff
