<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1833437, member: 4373&quot;]This coin took me by surprise as I wasn&#039;t expecting anything like this.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/1023561.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From my understanding, this coin is struck in between 1820 - 1835.

Of which era / reign it is, I am not too sure yet. I am not well versed in Indian coinage and hope you can lead me in the right direction. I will have to purchase a 1/4 anna coin for comparsion.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the existance of this coin got me interested - was it common for Bhutan to overstrike coins? From what I looked at, this does not seem to be the case. Maybe you happen to have one hiding somewhere in your collection?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
