Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 06/10/2011 9:10 pm Yes, I agree that this coin's authenticity may be in question. Have you weighed it? Does it appear to be made of silver? What is the diameter of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 06/13/2011 08:21 am Agreed. A genuine Calcutta rupee from the 1700s looks like this. It should be fairly thick, weigh about 11 and a half grams, and be silver. Your coin looks thin and un-silvery. Further, the beaded border is quite un-Indian in character; early Indian coins tend to have designs that go right up to the border and beyond. 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

This one must be an imitation. The link Sap gave shows a genuine rupee with the mint name "Murshidabad". Edited by drnsreedhar 06/14/2011 4:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
