Nice copper!

Just a note, reverse (top pic) needs to be rotated 90 deg. counter clockwise, and the obverse (bottom) is upside down.

What is the weight? It should be either .65g or .48g with the latter one being the next ruler (1938-49).

 

Can we get some kind of scale/reference to see how small it is? Nice coin, nonetheless.

 

They're little more than half the diameter of a U.S. cent.

So, yeah...a photo next to a cent and even a dime would be a great comparison to show us!

 

Thanks! That is small.

 

Nice coin. That looks to be Uncirculated. Numista lists this coin as having Medal Alignment. They show the reverse with a backwards C located at the bottom.
And a diameter of 10.8 mm.

Thanks, alurid...I've never bothered to translate any of the brahmic scripts of the region as my interests lay mostly further east. I think I'll need to fully familiarize myself with it more.


Edited to say that I think I'll stop looking at my coins for the region upside down now too

 

Very small lol sorry about it being upside down lol

 

The smallest coin I own (KM#57), some 6297 times smaller (by weight) than the largest coin I own.

 

Hey, maybe you'll get lucky in Lord Marcovian's drawing.

 

That'd be cool. I've got big covered. Small, I could do better.

 

I have one of these little guys as well.



I thought this coin was small until I picked up this silver struck coin from Travencore form just a few decades before (1860-1880). The milled one cash is about 11 mm, the stuck silver "chuckram" is just 6 mm.

 

Mine also. That would be a cool thread. Post the smallest coin you own. And see what they have and how many of these lol.

 

I got a 13mm ¼ real from Guatemala. Minted in Birmingham, England.

 

Very cool!!

 

My smallest is 7mm
