DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/22/2010 6:17 pm Found yesterday in a coin show "bargain bin", labeled as a "Jaipur rupee, 1888". For those who know, does that seem right? Thanks for your help! Weight is 13.25g There are cuts and other interesting marks on the rim, presumable to test silver content? Identity confirmed - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, these are analogous to the "chop marks" on coins that circulated in China. In the Indian series, they're known as "shroff marks". 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
