So, statistically speaking, it looks very much like a restrike. :) Ian `If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....,...
Here's an Arcot (lotus) 1/4 rupee minted in 1823 during the Madras presidency but bearing a crown counterstamp on the obverse, designating it for...
Nice examples from the Arcot mint! Here's a few madras presidency coins that I have: 1/8th rupee minted at Calcutta (rose instead of lotus)...
Good on yah! I know that you can't show us them, but what do they grade as? These coins aren't really all that common here either, at least not...
Thanks for the info. Yet another nice coin you have too! ..... :) Ian
Thanks. These coins have been lying dormant in my collection now for about ten years. At one time `India' was my thing but sadly, apart from a...
This is a well worn coin, and i had thought it to be originally a thick planchet worn thin. Now you are making me think again. Problem is, i've...

Brilliant! :bow: Many thanks for the info. :thumb:

The two jetons shown were commissioned by the Royal administrations involved (Artillery and Kings Counsel) and minted at La Monnaie, Paris. It is...
No, I didn't. :) The French first settled Pondicherry in 1683 (I think), so any Danish influenced coinage must have been prior to that. Is...
:) There are a number of jetons in a similar vein which in hindsight, I bet the French wish they had never issued. For example, the siege of Mont...
My typo Aidan. It should read `Kehl' and not `Kehls'. Kehl is now a suburb of Strasbourg. At the time it was a town on the other side of the...
An example in silver of the jeton issued for the `Artillerie' administration. Its theme celebrates the taking of the town of Kehl on the 9th March...
Aidan, I'm sorry, but I don't have any of the Hyderabad 2 pai coins to relate to so I can't help you with that one. However, if you know your...
