thekidcollector Forum Kid Kuwait 1523 Posts	Posted 09/09/2006 3:26 pm Hey, Did you go to the same shop I went to when I went for vacation to Sri Lanka/ Maldives? We were on our way to a place called Kandy and I saw this Antique shop, Picked up alot and alot of coins, very cheap and genuine and picked up most of what you picked up and my Mom picked up some antique masks for her mask collection. The coin you have is similar to my coin, the ancient one, well its same design and shape, When I was there I also picked up some VOC coinage from Dutch Ceylon, one I bought for 300 Sri Lankan ruppees is now worth $500!! And regarding the ancient coin: Date: 1197-1200 Metal: Copper Ruler: Queen Lilavati Price: After Lots of heavy research and mailing to other people, I found out mines genuine and in that quality its worth around $200. TKC! Report this Post to the Staff
shatsi Pillar of the Community United States 1541 Posts	Posted 09/10/2006 10:52 pm Yes, its from Kandy. Its a shop across the entrance to the palace. I paid about US $9 for the three. They did have some VOC coins but not much details and most of the ancients had the green stuff on it. Wish I knew more about sri lankan coinage then I'll havea better idea. Thank you for the info. How can I find out whether the ancient is genuine? Report this Post to the Staff
