Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 11:43 pm Hello and welcome. This is not actually a coin. It's one of a class of objects known collectively as "Indian temple tokens". They're basically religious amulets. This one is a Hindu type known as a "ramatanka". You can see a similar item in this thread. 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

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 05:13 am Since temple tokens are not coins, they're not listed in the coin catalogues. I've seen them for sale from local dealers here for $5 to $10. 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
