    Hi, thanks for letting me join. I have this coin, I'm 99% sure that it is an Indiannative state coin but I cannot find which state or what denomination it is. Any help would be very grateful.

    While some of the experts here may be able to recognize the denomination just from a picture, if you give a weight and diameter it would be a lot easier.

    It reminds me a bit of a Bengal rupee, though the design is not the same. Bengal Rupee Shah Alam II 1793-1818 Calcutta mint copy.jpeg

    Thank you for your fast reply. It does look like a Bengal coin I agree. I don't actually have in my possession at the moment, it is doe to be delivered on Monday. The mail is very slow at the moment due to the lockdown. Once it arrives I will measure and weigh it and put it on here. I couldn't wait to get it to start researching it
