    Hi,

    I have a 1616 East India Company Half-Anna coin; with the image of Mahaveer Swami, image of lion and with the words SHRI BHAGWAN MAHAVEER (in hindi) in the rear. It weighs around 12 gms with diameter of 32mm, made of copper. I would like to know how much is this coin worth? Please reply asap....:)

    This is most likely a modern fantasy/tourist piece with minimal value. It is definitely not a coin.

    by any chance, any of those rupees are of 1911 or 1939? :). Also to get an rough estimate, can u plz tell how much did it cost u? I was almost tempted to buy a 1943 rupee for 4$.. not sure about the grade but it was raw and in a "decent" condition.
