Would love to get some information about it, relative value. To my untrained eye the script resembles Sanskrit. Thanks Identified - moved to World Coin forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 11/12/2009 01:14 am Indeed, a Nepalese paisa, I flipped the top image and made out a date, VS 1974, which corresponds to AD 1917. Hand struck during Tribhuvana Bir Bikram's reign (1911 - 1950). This type though ran only between 1912 and 1920. Report this Post to the Staff
