I have an acquaintance who lived in that part of the world for a long time. I'll ask him.
From India? http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php?topic=21683.0
Picture?
Decent camera (maybe smartphone?), solid-colored background (black?), proper lighting. Lighting is usually from multiple directions to avoid...

Nothing very high grade, just looking for some fun historical coins for my family tree. Starting with Poland. Talking to some members here as...
Don't get your hopes up. Those videos are either faked or *very* rare. Hang out here for awhile and see how many boxes have no silver at all.
