svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 04/24/2010 11:13 pm The only thing I could tell for sure is the date: VS 1994 or AD 1937. Whether it is Nepal or one of the Indian states I don't know. This could be a medal rather than a coin as well. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 04/24/2010 11:34 pm I've tried to put together the monogram, "GS", with places that use Vikrama calendar, and so the date, 1937, would be significant. I haven't been successful. It couldn't be George the Sixth, could it? The guy pictured is someone else... Report this Post to the Staff
Georgioscoins Valued Member Greece 70 Posts	Posted 04/24/2010 11:42 pm Yes you are probably right it is from some India State most likely, I was just browsing Krause but cant find it under Nepal, Tibet or India. Could be some sort of Medal. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 04:09 am Found it, in "Unusual World Coins", Indian States. It's an "unofficial" or "medallic" nazarana rupee in the name of the Maharajah of Bikanir, given to guests invited to Ganga Singh's Golden Jubilee festivities. It's listed in my old copy of UWC as "old KM# 73, KMX# M1". Prooflike restrikes are also listed, though this coin doesn't look proof. CoinArchives currently lists only some of the gold ½ mohur versions of this coin. 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
Georgioscoins Valued Member Greece 70 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 10:58 am Great finding Sap, thank you :) Interesting silver and worthy medallic coin. It reached $56 in a recent auction I just found: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...360252696310 Report this Post to the Staff
