good evening, I have just joined this great forum and hope you may be able to help me. I have just been given a few coins by my Grandpa and am not sure about the one below, can anyone offer any info? thanks in advance
It appears to be a Hindu temple token from India, I would guess early 20th century maybe late 19th century.
Hi Kessef, Welcome to Coin Talk. The coin you posted looks like a "Temple Token" from India. Most likely of Lord Rama and his wife Sita. Check this site. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/23885771@N03/sets/72157616133145729/ And this one. http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=521 this is all I got.
hi to both of you, thanks for the warm welcome and quick reply, I will start to investigate further, best wishes and bye for now
