This coin is about 15mm and 3.2g. I don't know if I have it oriented correctly - I apologize if it is not set right for the pics. Anyone know what it is? Thanks :smile
not sure which language it is but i think its written Ahd Khan Al Arbr (may b the name of the emperor) cant understand second side, guess its of sum indian princely state or afghanistan/persian coin not sure

Mani - Wow! Thanks so much for the information! I found a website about these types of coins and wrote to the owner hoping to get more details. He says on his site that they are very rare and also counterfeited so I hope mine is the real deal. It has a good feel to it and I think it is a nice coin too - thank you again. Ursdesire- Thanks for the reply and taking a good crack at it! :smile
