Hello amigos and amigas, I bought these two items not too long ago as some kind of "rarities"; one seems to be an ancient gold? coin (I paid $20 for it) and the other looks like a token (coin?). I believe it says "half drach" (drachmai?); it looks the same on both sides. I'm including the dime as a size reference. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Monetarium :bow:
The gold coin is an Indian fanam from about the 17th century or earlier. My instint says it is from cochin, but I could be wrong....
Thanks much, Siberian man! Per your request, I've included a bigger picture of the other side. Best, Monetarium
