    First coin is a cash coin from Mysore, not ancient, but 18th century southern india. See Krause 1701-1800 under Mysore, India. It should be KM#167.

    The second coin is of interest to me. Here's a better example from archives (not my coin):

    That's "50-40 B.C." in the above description. Nice coin.

    Fun pieces, keep looking as you never know what you will learn. Thanks for the post. I do collect the elephants of Mysore as well as ancients.
