    I purchased this rather obscure coin. I know what it is, when and where it was made and I have a rather good reference for it.

    I challenge y'all to ID this coin.

    31 mm x 7.2 grams

    Silver

    Jeeze Batman, I know there are few as good as you! How did you come to recognize it. Well done.
    BTW the coin was minted in Bengal.
