another "find" while digging through an old trunk. what is this thing? it rings like silver. what would it be worth sans hole? Thanks in advance for any assistance!
the markings are on a number of Cooch Behar coins from 1700s, but this is not one of them. Can't find my catalog for 1800s.
@KIWITI You get a gold star for attribution. The op coin looks like some Buthan coins on this link - http://www.anythinganywhere.com/commerce/coins/coinpics/bhutan.html
This one is pretty close. Swastika is graffiti?? 1820-1835 Bhutan hand-struck 1/2 rupee---except coin in photo is described as copper.
The swastika is a very old symbol. Check the link below for its origins. http://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/symbol-swastika-and-its-12000-year-old-history-001312
Yeah--I knew this, but I missed the obvious clue. Feature is extruded!...just sit me in the corner with the Dunce Cap....sigh...
