VirginiaGirl New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/20/2025 11:35 am I'd picked this up for spot gold price .36g 6.6-6.8 diameter ovoid 1.1 mm thick Hammered Gold I've used google and Numista. One side seems typical. But no match for the other. I'd just like to date it. But if you see a problem, let me know. Connie Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 12/20/2025 7:03 pm Here's one that matches your coin. https://www.ma-shops.com/podlaski/i...508&curr=USD It's attributed to Tipu Sultan of Mysore, Patan mint, 1782-1799 (undated) That sounds like a good buy at spot gold price, and yours is in high grade.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/20/2025 9:19 pm Purchased for spot is OK in this case. Safe enough, if you don't know too much about them. Beware, modern copies in good gold are quite often incorporated in Indian jewelry. They are quite popular, and sell well, with not too much outlay by the purchaser. Report this Post to the Staff
