Another mystery coin - tiny silver

Any ideas for where this one might be from? It is only about 12mm & .4g.

Thank you

Hi Lotsofcoppers !
I must confess that is the first time in my life to see something like that..
The reverse seems to have a kind of indian or southern east asia flavour but i feel sorry not to be able to help you with this one !
Maybe kind of token but so small in dimension, it's really strange !

 

The reverse looks like nonsense letters, to me anyway.

I doubt a coin.

 

Maybe extraterrestrial :yes:
(hope it doen't glow at night )

 

Is a coin without a date, not a coin, but called a token ?

 

they are plenty of ancient coins without any date that could be hardly considered as tokens

but this one doesn't look so ancient, it only looks so weird ...

 

It's a crude imitation of a Mexican cuartillo, or 1/4 real, which were made from the 1840's to 1860's. Here is one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mexico-Silver-1-4-Real-F-F-Un-Quarto-Una-Quartilla-1842-Zs-KM-368-5-/390456915246?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item5ae90bb52e&nma=true&si=mXgqfUhCpDyA7kOsPP%2BGhiIrw4k%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

 

Congratulations ! As a matter of fact, we can imagine something like the 1 and a something 4 on the reverse
How did you proceed to get the ID ?

 

I have a couple of these coins and the design on this one reminded me of them. No fancy detective work or anything like that. =)

 

Thanks for the explaination !

 

Fantastic! Thank you very much! And thanks everyone for their efforts.

I collect old / contemporary counterfeits so I'm liking this

 

Qing Dynasty counterfeit? ...interesting.
