Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 05/04/2010 02:40 am It's the right size, but the weight's a little heavy for a rupee (which are rarely more than 11.5 grams). That, plus certain red flags about the style of the lettering and the odd "streakiness" in the background, make me think that this also is a "temple token". I think the bottom pic is the kalima, the Islamic statement of faith, which would lend credence to the temple token theory - the kalima disappeared from Indian coins during the Mughal period. 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
