[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1798351, member: 15445"][ATTACH=full]291670[/ATTACH] Hello THCoins, A fellow traveler gave me this silver coin on an airplane about 20 years ago. If I measure the weight & dimension accurately could you help me determine the country, date, & denomination? I don't have the coin with me right now but I could get it tonight. The traveler told me it was a Dhaka but that is the name of a place & not a denomination of which I am aware. Perhaps he said Tanka & I mis-understood it. I have heard that it looks like a mogul silver rupee. I've been unable to locate it in any of my Krause books 1600-present. Any guidance would be appreciated. BTW, the coin is depicted inside a 2x2 cardboard holder intended to hold a US quarter. I'd guess that the size is close to 22 mm diameter. That is just a guess until I can get my hands on the coin tonight.[/QUOTE]
