    Bought a couple of these as they were on offer at a really cheap price. I actually only wanted one but after seeing they were very different (and they were a bargain), I decided to get them both. (the joys of varieties)

    Denomination: 1/8 tical. This is a uniface coin.

    Looked it up on the internet and there's just so many varieties of this particular type of coin. Maybe you have one of this funky coin?

    This is one of the most commonly faked coins that I have seen. So many modern copies, probably because the simple and crude design is so easy to replicate. These two do, however, look much more legit than the typical replicas. I would still be skeptical though.

    Some years ago I bought two of them and had them mounted as necklaces, one for my daughter and one for my goddaughter (who originated from southeast asia). They are lovely...(the coins and the girls I mean :) )
