Ah but I trumped that before! See posts #217 and #218 in this thread for some REALLY early British coins!

 

I was told the Rev on this 1 used for Jamaica But
I am Wrong after thinking Jamaica was GB in 1842 so your right. NK

 

yes paddy and we introduced the world greatest game--CRICKET--they still play it today-perhaps the biggest achievement of the empire was cricket,changed the nations that play it(I will not mention Australia,this summer )

 

Phil (wyvern) - you mustn't tease the Americans - you know they don't understand cricket!

 

Cricket?? Sure we understand cricket Paddy...little fellas that hop around and chirp right?

The way the Australians have been playing so far this series, that is about right!

 

I wasn't saying you were wrong mate, was just asking how you found out

 

That is Ok!!!I did not think/ Brain Fart!!!<^>

 

Islands of dispute, they came and they stayed.

Boy oh boy! One shall not desire!

 

cunobellin stater...................

 

Awesome!

 

OK - I can't compete with gold coins like the above. Una and the Lion in particular is a mind-bogglingly expensive coin!
To get back to the real world, here are a few more British India/Princely States coins I have dug out:
Baroda Paisa circa 1891,
Gwallor quarter Anna circa 1899,
Madras presidency 10 cash 1808,
Calcutta presidency pice circa 1829.

 

PaddyB
you now what date this India coin could be???

 

I wish I could help you! I actually found this forum looking to answer a very similar question. I have a number of these little blighters myself - 4 of them on the desk in front of me - that I have given up on identifying. As I understand it they are most likely to be 18th or 19th century, but could be earlier. You can go completely dulali trying to track them down in Krause!

 

Paddy B thanks !!!!
Once I get in hand I can post some better photos . We can nail down the date.
