Are these INDIAN or ISLAM (perhaps) or none of the above?

    I bought these two coins to research them, but unfortunately, I have drawn a blank (on both of them). I am appealing to anyone who can help me to attribute them, please.

    #1 - AE11mm., 1.3gm. (Is that an Elephant/Brahman bull with a palm tree in front?)

    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    They are "Nagas of Narwar" from 4th century (or so) India, the obverse is a bull, the reverse is something in Bramhi script.

    Here are mine !

    I think your "palm tree" is just the head a leg of the bull!

    One of mine is a "kakini" and one is a "1/2 kakini" denomination, they are the same diameter, but it's obvious which is which from the side shot. One is 1 g and the othe ris 2 g. I assume yours is a "1/2"?
