Heya everyone! I recently acquired this unknown ancient piece, which looks a bit Arabic to me? I really have no clue on what this is. All I know is that it could be gold, and that's my main concern. All attributions are more than welcome! :hail: Thank you! - Ryan -
It might well be Indian the writting on some of the coins is very similar to arabic for sure There are a number of Muslim dynasties to choose from LOL Few examples http://www.anythinganywhere.com/commerce/coins/coinpics/indi-sultans.html
Most likely it is a Tanka or a Rupee. Unless it IS gold. It looks bronze in the picture though. Can you get pics with better light? stainless
Sorry, I absolutely suck at lighting with coins. :headbang: What other metals are as heavy as gold that were used for these types of coins?
Could be any really. If it is gold, from what I know it wouldn't be that much unless it is an earlier year (but hopefully someone who knows these more than me comes in to confirm/reject this). stainless
Well for it's size, it's pretty dang heavy. But maybe it's a mix of something like lead? I'm absolutely clueless.... :desk:
