I came across this interesting token while on ebay. This is way overpriced but I was stuck with the finesse of the obverse design. http://cgi.ebay.com/1835-BRITISH-EAST-INDIA-COMPANY-WILLIAM-TEMPLE-COIN-SEE_W0QQitemZ260470831589QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_203?hash=item3ca54579e5#ht_3066wt_939 Please look and decide for yourself. Please do not confuse this with any official issue coins or tokens. These appear to be fantasy strike/temple token.
I believe it's a fake, they misspelled India on the reverse (INDYA), also I see no 1 anna listed, they went from 1/2 anna to 2 annas.
Of course this is fake and that is why I pointed to this to show how similar they made the obverse die. If they would have created a silver piece with the right reverse then it would have passed off as the real one! The engraver here was very good or it is done by machinery today somewhere in China.
